I am currently researching a team of black South African footballers who toured Britain and France between September 1899 and January 1900 playing in the region of 50 matches. This team was referred to as 'the Kaffirs' and were from Orange Free State. If anyone has come across any references in local newspapers I'd be interested to hear from them. I'm interested in details of matches they played but also information such as where they stayed, what they did apart from playing football, etc. They played in most parts of Britain (there were matches in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland) apart from East Anglia and the West Country as far as I am aware.
