}}Adam Hudson Black (Denny, Stirlingshire, 18 February 1898{{snd}}Leicester, 30 August 1981) was a Scottish-born footballer who played for Leicester City in the Football League in the 1920s and 1930s.[1]

He played for Leicester between January 1920 and 1935 and made a total of 557 senior appearances for the Foxes,[2] including 528 league appearances and he thus holds the record for most league appearances for Leicester.[3]

Early life

Prior to joining Leicester he fought in World War I with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and won the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his gallantry near Mœuvres on 21 March 1918.[3][4] The citation for his DCM stated that Black "bombed out a large portion of a trench captured by the enemy in spite of strenuous opposition. His initiative, leadership and personal gallantry were worthy of the highest praise".[4]

Career

Black made his debut for Leicester on 24 January 1920 in a 3–2 victory over Hull City after becoming one of Peter Hodge's first signings for the club and began to establish himself as a first team regular the following season. Over the following few seasons under Hodge, Leicester were slowly built into a Second Division force and Black helped the club to the Second Division title in 1924–25. Black later played a key role as part of the team which finished in the club's highest ever league finish of runners-up in the First Division in 1928–29.[5] He progressed to captain the team.[6]

Despite playing 557 times for Leicester, he only managed to score 4 times. Three of his goals were penalties and the other a bizarre 60 yard free-kick against Sunderland in 1933, which Black accidentally over hit.[5]

Legacy

A suite at Leicester's home ground, the King Power Stadium, is named in his honour.[7]

Personal life

Black married in Clydebank in 1920.[6] His brother John Black (born 1900) was a more peripatetic footballer playing for Denny Hibs, Sunderland, Nelson, Accrington Stanley, Chesterfield, Luton and Bristol Rovers. [8]
