On the 24th April 2021, the restored grave of Andrew Watson (24 May 1856 – 8 March 1921) was unveiled with a commemoration ceremony. It marked 100 years since Andrew passed. Andrew was a Scottish footballer who is widely considered to be the world's first black person to play association football at international level.

​

Several members of loonyalba, the London based scottish supporters club,  were in attendance and the club laid a wreath to commemorate this remarkable man. Llew Walker, the author of "Andrew Watson, a Straggling Life: The Story of the World's First Black International Footballer" was also in attendance and produced a memorial booklet to mark the day. Here it is. Enjoy!
