Walter Tull remembered

Related Topics: Ledley King, Walter Tull

Walter, the first black outfield player to play at the highest level in this country, joined us as an amateur in April, 1909, and so impressed that he signed professional terms within a month.

The Club continues to recognise the legacy Walter has left on our game and our society, while educating local young people on the history of Tull through our Foundation.

This week, Club Ambassador Ledley King will attend an educational workshop for local primary school students at Percy House – our new enterprise, employment and skills hub on Tottenham High Road, a place where local people will be able to learn more about the impact that Tull’s legacy has left in our game and on society today.
