Place reservation for Andrew Watson : the world's first Black football superstarToday, seeing Black footballers playing the game at the very highest level is considered very normal. This, certainly, was not the case 140 years ago, and this is what makes the story of Andrew Watson so remarkable. It seems hard to imagine that a Guyanese-born Black man could head the Scottish national football team in 1881 in a game against England. Not only was he captain, but he also led them to a 6-1 victory in London - an achievement that still ranks as England's heaviest ever defeat on home soil.
