Arthur Wharton (28 October 1865 – 13 December 1930) is widely considered to be the first black professional association football player in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Arthur Wharton )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Arthur Wharton )〕 Though not the first black player outright - the amateur, and Scotland international player, Andrew Watson predated him〔 - Wharton was the first black professional and the first to play in the Football League. ==Early life, ancestry and early career== Wharton was born in Jamestown, Gold Coast (now Accra, Ghana). His father Henry Wharton was Grenadian, while his mother, Annie Florence Egyriba was a member of the Fante Ghanaian royalty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Arthur Wharton: The Early Years )〕 Wharton moved to England in 1882 at age 19, to train as a Methodist missionary, but soon abandoned this in favour of becoming a full-time athlete.〔 He was an all-round sportsman - in 1886, he equaled the amateur world record of 10 seconds for the 100-yard sprint in the AAA championship.〔 He was also a keen cyclist and cricketer, playing for local teams in Yorkshire and Lancashire. However, Wharton is best remembered for his exploits as a footballer; while he was not the first mixed-race footballer in the United Kingdom — leading amateurs Robert Walker and Scotland international Andrew Watson predate him — he was the first mixed-race footballer to turn professional.〔
