Andrew Watson (footballer, born 1856)
Andrew Watson (24 May 1856 – 8 March 1921) is widely considered to be the world's first black person to play association football at international level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=First Black footballer, Andrew Watson, inspired British soccer in 1870s )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Andrew Watson )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Andrew Watson )〕 He played three matches for Scotland between 1881 and 1882. Although Arthur Wharton is commonly thought to be Britain's first black player, Watson's career predates him by over a decade; however, Wharton was the first black professional footballer and the first to play in the Football League.
==Early life and education==
Watson was the son of a wealthy Scottish sugar planter Peter Miller Watson (1805-1869) (the son of James Watson, of Crantit, Orkney, Scotland) and a local British Guianese woman named Hannah Rose. He came to Britain with his father, and his older sister Annetta, and they inherited a substantial amount when their father died in London in 1869.〔Andy Mitchell, ‘Watson, Andrew(1856–1921)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2014 (accessed 13 March 2015 )〕
He was educated at Heath Grammar School in Halifax, West Yorkshire and then from 1871 at King's College School, in Wimbledon, London, where records show he excelled at sports including football. He later studied natural philosophy, mathematics and engineering at the University of Glasgow when he was 19, where his love of football blossomed. He played in the full back position, on either the right or the left flank.
