He was educated at Byron House, The Hall School, and one of Britain's most ancient Public Schools, The King's School, Gloucester.

In the same year, Tesser became a leading football agent for the likes of Peter Osgood, Charlie Cooke and Rodney Marsh. During the 1990s Tesser worked on BBC TV's definitive documentary on the history of football - ''Kicking and Screaming'' - and was interviewed for the book of the same name, written by Rogan Taylor and Andrew Ward, allied to the series and published in 1995.

Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination.
