Some of you will remember that back in March 2019 the Hamlet Historian published my book Hussein Hegazi: Dulwich Hamlet’s Egyptian King. The launch took place at Champion Hill at the Football and War seminar.

For those who missed that event, a video recording was made by Jamal Watts and has since been uploaded onto YouTube. The video is in two parts and can be found at the following links.

Part One

Part Two 

I still have a good number of copies of the book, which are available from me at the reduced price of £5.00 each plus postage from jackmcinroy@yahoo.co.uk  

Hussein Hegazi was Dulwich Hamlet’s very first African player. He began his three year career with the Hamlet 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.
