A black gentleman called Arthur Warton played in goal for Preston North End in the 1880's by all accounts he was the best goalkeeper in the country at the time but never played for England. Don't know about Scotland, Wales or NI.
I think it was either Albert Johanson of Leeds Utd
or Clyde Best of West ham
