Matt Tiller

Matt is a writer and producer who co-founded the campaign which successfully fundraised for a statue of Jack Leslie who was the first black player to be selected for England in 1925. Leslie was denied the chance to play for his country due to the colour of his skin. The Lion Who Never Roared, Matt's first full length book, is a biography of Jack Leslie written with access to the family archive. Matt writes and produces for radio and TV in the UK and is a long-time collaborator of comedian, Michael Spicer. In his first job as a radio reporter, Matt covered events at Plymouth Argyle FC, the club he supports and where Jack Leslie played in the 1920s and 30s.

Matt is also a songwriter and his website has more information about his work and live events etc... www.matttiller.co.uk
