Frank Watt played at outside right for Kilbirnie and Scotland. He is perhaps best remembered for his final International appearance against England in 1891, when he scored in the 21 defeat to England. This was the first International in which goal nets were used. The English goalkeeper for that match was Billy Moon, with newspaper headlines the following day “Frank Watt kicks the ball over the Moon”
