Born in Dundee, Lindsay joined Tottenham Hotspur from Raith Rovers in 1919 (he had only played one season of Scottish Football League fixtures with the Kirkcaldy club, with the absence due to commitments relating to World War I). The centre forward played a total of 224 matches and scored on 48 occasions in all competitions for the Lilywhites.[5] He joined Thames in 1930 where he completed a further 25 games, netting a solitary goal. Lindsay ended his football career at Dundee.
