Alexander Stewart was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. His longest spell was with Falkirk (winning the Scottish Cup with the Bairns in 1913), with other clubs including Partick Thistle, St Johnstone and Arbroath.[1] [2]
He was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI in 1919 while at Partick Thistle,[3] [4] having featured for the Scotland Junior international team in 1908 which helped to launch his career.[1] On both occasions, his team were well beaten by their English opponents but Stewart was praised for his performance.
After retiring from playing he maintained an interest in sport: playing golf, owning a snooker and billiards hall in his hometown of Perth and introducing indoor lawn bowls greens to Arbroath.[1]
Stewart's son, also named Alex, was also a footballer who played as a forward and was also capped once by the SFL XI.[1]
