black goalkeepers in footie

I'm watching the Hibs/Hearts Edinburgh derby just now and noticed that Hibs have a black goalkeeper. I've never seen this in any non-African team before - has anyone else? It's something that surprised me at not having seen before...

right enough, but he looks more Arabic than black though.
