Hegazi: Dulwich Hamlet’s Egyptian King is a new book about
the club’s very first African player. Hegazi began his three year career at
Champion Hill in 1911 and made a huge impact on all those who saw or played
with the footballing wizard.
Before
the Egyptian returned to Cairo in 1914 he made a handful of appearances for
some of England’s best known amateur sides gaining a Cambridge ‘Blue’ in
the process. Hegazi went on to have a fascinating
career in his homeland.
The
144 page book illustrated with some rare photographs, will be available from
Wednesday 27 March 2019 priced at only £8.00,
That
evening also sees the Football and War seminar staged at
Champion Hill from 7:00pm. It is a great honour for Dulwich Hamlet FC to hold this
annual event – the first time it will be held outside of Wolverhampton
University – so it will be nice to see a large crowd.
