Ian Black Football player

Ian Henderson Black (born 27 March 1924 in Aberdeen) is a former Scottish football goalkeeper. Black played for Aberdeen, Southampton and Fulham, and also played one game for Scotland. Having been born in 1924, Black's early football career was disrupted by the Second World War, during which he made guest appearances for both Southampton and Chelsea, winning the South Final of the Football League War Cup with the latter. He was transferred by Aberdeen, who held his permanent registration, to Southampton in December 1947. He made nearly 100 league appearances for Southampton, and made his only appearance for Scotland, a 2–0 defeat by England, while he was with the club. Black was transferred to Fulham in 1950 in exchange for Hugh Kelly, and made over 250 league appearances for that club, before moving down to the Southern League to play for Bath City and Canterbury City. He retired from football in 1964.
