David Gibson Black (22 March 1868 – 1940) was a Scottish international footballer who scored in the 1896 FA Cup Final for Wolverhampton Wanderers. He also played for both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Career

Black was playing for local club Hurlford when he was capped by the Scottish national team in 1889. He played and scored in a 7–0 victory over Ireland at Ibrox on 9 March.

He moved south to Middlesbrough (then of the Northern League) before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1893, making his Football League on 2 September 1893 in a 1–7 loss at Nottingham Forest.

He featured regularly for Wolves between 1893-96, and appeared in the 1896 FA Cup Final for them. He netted an equaliser during the final but ultimately had to settle for a runners-up medal as Sheffield Wednesday won the game 2–1.

After 84 appearances and 17 goals (in total) for the Midlanders, he moved to Burnley in 1896. His stay at Turf Moor was extremely brief though and he soon left for Tottenham Hotspur. He spent just one full season with Spurs before joining Woolwich Arsenal (now Arsenal).[1] However, he did not play for Arsenal at any level.[2] He died in 1940.
