The remarkable career of the first black footballer to receive an England call-up is to be honoured with a national blue plaque.
John 'Jack' Leslie, who scored 137 goals in 400 appearances for Plymouth Argyle between 1921 and 1934, was called up to the national team in 1925.
But the inside-left (support striker) would be denied an England appearance, seemingly because of the colour of his skin after selectors discovered his heritage.
The Argyle favourite died in 1988 and the plaque is being unveiled in his adopted home town of Plymouth.
The unveiling marks Leslie's footballing talent and celebrates the 100th anniversary year of his call-up as a reserve for the England squad in October 1925.
