Career
Black played for Blackburn Rovers before joining Burslem Port Vale in October 1895.[1] On 19 October, he made his debut in a heavy 8–2 defeat to Darwen.[1] He scored his first goal for the club two days later, in a 5–4 victory over Liverpool at the Athletic Ground.[1] However, after seven Second Division and two FA Cup appearances the club declared him to be "a 1 stone (14 lb; 6.4 kg) too heavy" and so he left by mutual consent in January 1896 and headed for Scotland.[1]
