12 March 1881. England lost 1-6 in a record home defeat to a mighty Scotland team, captained by a forgotten name from history: Andrew Watson. Born into Caribbean privilege, Watson arrived in Scotland to discover that he was not welcome, but refused to be silenced and broke barriers by becoming the world's first international Black footballer. A raw, unflinching exploration of Watson's life and what it means to belong nowhere and everywhere at once, this semi-biographical piece by Joe McCann is a call to arms for all those written out of history and a testament to the enduring power of refusing to disappear.
