During his remarkable life, Walter Tull became one of the first Black professional footballers, playing with Tottenham Spurs, and one of the first Black Britons to become an officer in the British Army in 1917. In this talk, Phil Vasili, who played a critical role in uncovering Tull’s story, will present the history of Walter Tull. About the author:Phil Vasili was born in London but grew up in Cambridge, Kent and Essex. As a boy he dreamed of becoming a professional footballer. Though he played at representative and semi-professional level he never achieved his ambition of becoming a full-time pro. After playing he coached at professional clubs and scouted for Birmingham City, Manchester United, Coventry City and Blackpool. Writing, like football, is a passion he has had since childhood. Unable to separate the dual obsessions of politics and sport he has had published three biographies, a social history and a novel. The BBC has made two documentaries and one drama based upon them, all aired on BBC4. He is currently working on a biography of ex-Manchester United, Manchester City and Rochdale footballer, Tony Whelan. His play, Tull, directed by David Thacker, had a successful three week run at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton. The play was later produced by the Tottenham Theatre Company and performed at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre. He has had two other plays produced for London theatres. He was executive producer of 'Antonio's Breakfast' which won the 2006 short film (drama) BAFTA. In 2011 he wrote and directed his first feature film 'The Crack'. He is also one of the few white recipients of a Football Blacklist Award.
