Special day at Plymouth, unveiling a statue in honour of an Argyle legend who IN 1925 was the first black pLayer picked for England but then not allowed a cap because of the colour of his skin. The FA recently awarded him a postHumous cap to right this wrong. I am posting this because we are soon to unveil our own statue to a County legend and anything we can learn from another upwardly mobile club that has done the same thing has got to be worth knowing. Jack Leslie's story is very different to Danny's but the desire for different sets of fans to honour their own is the same. Jack Leslie
