User:David George Black

David Black, born 27th July 1983, is currently a semi professional footballer from Aberdeen who plays either as Right Back or Centre Half and is vice-captain of Longside Football Club Longside Football Club. Longside F.C. currently play in the North Premier League of the Scottish Junior Leagues.

Black has had previous spells at Hermes and Cruden Bay Juniors before signing for Stoneywood 4-Mile, later Stoneywood Amateurs where he played for 3 years.

Black was given his chance to return to the Junior ranks under John Hyslop at Lads Club. Black signed for Lads Club in 2005 after leaving Stoneywood on a trial basis. Black impressed Hyslop and was then signed for the club where he was then seen as a first team regular and a major part of the progress of the club. In 2008, Lads Club entered abayance due to varying reasons that would not allow the team to enter the top tier which left Black and his fellow team mates out of contract.

As a result of this Black signed for Longside F.C. at the beginning of the 2008-09 season. In his first season he made 33 starting appearances scoring 5 goals in the process, one of which against league runners up Culter F.C.

At present Black has been sidelined since the 20th of July after a robust challenge in a pre-season friendly against Fraserburgh F.C. left him with a torn medial knee ligament.
