Scottish footballer
David Stewart (13 December 1869 – 3 August 1933) was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender or half back.
Career
Born in Glasgow, Stewart played club football for Queen's Park,[2] winning the Scottish Cup in 1893 by beating Celtic and also featuring on the losing side in the 1892 and 1900 finals against the same opposition.[a] He made two appearances for Scotland.[8]
He later moved to London where he played for Caledonians.[8][1] His younger brother Andy was also a footballer whose clubs included Queen's Park.[1]
Notes
- ^ The Queen's Park archive website attributes the appearances in the 1892 and 1893 finals to Allan Stewart[3] (no relation) with most contemporary match reports simply listing the surname.[4] Research for biographical profiles and other match reports[5][6][7] confirm these appearances (and all others from 1891 to 1894) were actually made by David and not Allan who had left the club.
