David Stewart (13 December 1869 – 3 August 1933) was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender or half back.

Career

Born in Glasgow, Stewart played club football for Queen's Park, 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. He made two appearances for Scotland.

He later moved to London where he played for Caledonians. His younger brother Andy was also a footballer whose clubs included Queen's Park.

Notes

  1. The Queen's Park archive website attributes the appearances in the 1892 and 1893 finals to Allan Stewart (no relation) with most contemporary match reports simply listing the surname. Research for biographical profiles and other match reports confirm these appearances (and all others from 1891 to 1894) were actually made by David and not Allan who had left the club.
