England's first non-white footballer
Frank Soo was born in Buxton in 1914, his mother was English and his dad was Chinese.
He played nine times for England, but because it was during the Second World War he didn't get official England caps.
Family members have now been presented with an honorary cap.
Frank's Great Niece, Jacqui Soo spoke to BBC Radio Derby's Becky Measures.
