He made his debut appearance on Saturday, 19th September, 1914, in a 2-0 defeat away to St Mirren in the SFL First Division. There were no goals for Alex during his spell with Thistle. He played his second and last game for the club on Tuesday, 13th April, 1915, in a 2-2 draw at home to Rangers in a Benefit match. His club-list included Morton, Ashfield and Partick Thistle.

 Alex joined Thistle from Ashfield, having started out with Morton. The outside-left played for the Jags on 2 occasions, the first of which was a 2-0 away defeat against St Mirren in September 1914. Somewhat dryly, the Glasgow Herald commented that “The Thistle forwards evidently reserve their best efforts for Firhill.” He also played in an Orange Lodge fundraiser against Rangers in front of 3,000 at Firhill in April, 1915. Thistle played a number of junior players on the night, but it was Neil Harris who scored both Thistle goals, the clincher coming in the 89th minute of the match. Alex joined the Gordon Highlanders, and played for them in a match against the Highland Light Infantry. The Gordons won 2-0. Unfortunately the trail on Alex goes cold from there. On account of his service during WWII, Alex is included in our feature piece, The Partick Thistle Returned →. |
