Career edit
Born in Kilmarnock and raised in the south of Glasgow, Stewart played club football for Queen's Park[3][a] and won the Scottish Cup with the club in 1890[4][2] – he scored the winning goal in the replayed final,[5] as he had also done in that season's Glasgow Cup final[6] (despite his defensive role, he was known for his powerful shooting from distance). Soon afterwards he quit the game and relocated to London.[7][1] 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.[8]
Stewart made two appearances for Scotland, in British Home Championship fixtures against Wales and Ireland.[4][2] He featured once for the English amateur team Corinthian.[9]
