Allan Stewart (12 April 1865 – 2 October 1907) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right half.

Career

Born in Kilmarnock and raised in the south of Glasgow, Stewart played club football for Queen's Park and won the Scottish Cup with the club in 1890 – he scored the winning goal in the replayed final, as he had also done in that season's Glasgow Cup final (despite his defensive role, he was known for his powerful shooting from distance). Soon afterwards he quit the game and relocated to London. He had also played as a guest for Cowlairs in one competitive fixture: the final of the 1888 Glasgow Exhibition Cup, and scored in that victory too.

Stewart made two appearances for Scotland, in British Home Championship fixtures against Wales and Ireland. He featured once for the English amateur team Corinthian.

Notes

  1. The Queen's Park archive website attributes appearances from 1891 to 1894 to Allan Stewart; checks show these were made by David Stewart (no relation).
