Over the moon that this is happening. Argyle's history is littered with underachievement, but in Jack Leslie we have someone who had to overachieve just to step onto a football pitch and he is the outstanding candidate for a statue at HP.
I also think this will put Argyle as a club at the forefront of the fight against racial discrimination. What other club has a statue of a black footballer outside their ground? I can only think of Thierry Henry, but his statue is purely for footballing prowess. Ours will be in honour of a player who was snubbed by our own Football Association due to the colour of his skin.
His story must never be forgotten and this campaign will ensure it won't be. Well done all involved.
