David Black (football centre-forward)

David Black was a footballer who played at centre-forward.

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