Alexander Thomson (18 February 1877 – 3 July 1959)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward.
Born in Airdrie, Thomson played club football solely for hometown team Airdrieonians; he helped the Diamonds to achieve their first promotion to the top level as winners of the 1902–03 Scottish Division Two championship,[1] and they would retain their place for the next three decades.[2]
Thomson made one appearance for Scotland,[3] [1] scoring the third goal in a 5–0 win over Ireland in the 1909 British Home Championship having come in at centre forward, which was not his usual role, as a late replacement for Jimmy Quinn.[4]
