Warburton Not first black professional footballer

[edit]

I am deleting the uncited statement he was 'the first black professional footballer' because that distinction is held easily by Arthur Wharton (a surname that might easily be confused) who was born in 1865 and was playing English league football in the 19th century before Warburton was born in 1909! Any statement the latter was black needs substantiation by citation.Cloptonson (talk) 15:06, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
