BBC News Published image captionFergus Suter left Scotland to earn his living playing football in England The grave of one of English football's lesser-known pioneers has been restored after a fan watched his story on Netflix series, The English Game. Jacqueline McAleese contacted Blackburn Rovers after noticing Fergus Suter's final resting place was dilapidated. Suter is regarded as the first professional footballer, earning a "working wage" at Rovers in 1880. Ms McAleese said she was "quite upset" after seeing his grave "had fallen over and was "just a mound of grass". The restoration, funded by Blackburn Rovers, took place on the 135th anniversary of the triumph of Suter's third FA Cup winner's medal, when Rovers beat West Brom 2-0.
