David Chalmers (1897 – 1961) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside left for Clydebank in the first and second tiers of the Scottish Football League during the 1920s,[1] playing alongside Jimmy McGrory for a season.[2] [3] He had earlier played for Junior side St Anthony's and been selected to play for Scotland at that level.[4]
His son, Stevie Chalmers, played for Celtic and Scotland, scoring the goal which won the 1967 European Cup Final; he credited his father as a quiet influence and an example to follow in his early life.[5] David's grandson (Stevie's son), Paul Chalmers, also played professionally.
