Career
Born in Glasgow, Stewart played club football for Queen's Park,[2] winning the Scottish Cup in 1893 by beating Celtic and also featuring on the losing side in the 1892 and 1900 finals against the same opposition.[lower-alpha 1] He made two appearances for Scotland.[8]
He later moved to London where he played for Caledonians.[8][1] His younger brother Andy was also a footballer whose clubs included Queen's Park.[1]
Notes
- The Queen's Park archive website attributes the appearances in the 1892 and 1893 finals to Allan Stewart[3] (no relation) with most contemporary match reports simply listing the surname.[4] Research for biographical profiles and other match reports[5][6][7] confirm these appearances (and all others from 1891 to 1894) were actually made by David and not Allan who had left the club.
