Magnificent statue to Jack Leslie, goal machine for Plymouth Argyle FC in the 20s and 30s, and the first black player called up by England. The FA withdrew the call up when they realised he was black. The current FA have awarded him a posthumous honorary cap talkSPORT

We are sorry to hear the sad news about Uriah Rennie. A true pioneer, he will always be a legend by becoming the 1st Black referee in the PL, providing leadership, talent and visibility that proved inspirational to many. RIP
