Alexander Lambie (15 April 1897 – 26 February 1963) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half.
Although he began his career with Ayrshire teams including Kilmarnock, Lambie featured primarily for Glasgow club Partick Thistle where he spent a decade (all in the top division), making 325 appearances for the Jags in all competitions and scoring 17 goals,[4] having been brought in during 1921 as a replacement for Willie Hamilton, the regular of the past decade who had died of tuberculosis.[5]
He played in the 1930 Scottish Cup Final which Partick lost to Rangers after a replay,[6] but did manage to claim winner's medals in the Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup in 1927[7] and the one-off Glasgow Dental Hospital Cup in 1928, both against the same opponents.[8]
After he moved on from Partick Thistle in 1931, a spell at Chester lasting just a few weeks was followed by three seasons as a regular at Swindon Town,[9] and then further brief period in Wales with Lovell's Athletic and Ireland with Distillery before retiring.[1]
While playing for Partick Thistle, Lambie was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI against the English Football League XI in 1928,[2] and took part in what proved to be the last Home Scots v Anglo-Scots international trial match in the same year,[10] although this did not lead to a full cap for Scotland. He also played in two editions of the Glasgow Football Association's annual challenge match against Sheffield.[11] [12]
His nephews Jim, Jock and Tom Brown were all footballers, and their sons also became sportsmen.[13]
