Biography

Aged 20, Stewart was signed by Ally MacLeod to join Ayr United in 1967. MacLeod had joined the year before and turned the previously modest Somerset Park club into a much respected side. Stewart, Dick Malone, Quinton Young and Johnny Doyle all played at Under-23 level for Scotland, while Alex Ingram played for the Scottish League. In 1969 Ayr were promoted as runners-up to Motherwell to the top tier of the then two division Scottish Football League set up. In that promotion season Ayr took Celtic to a replay in the 1968–69 Scottish League Cup. Ayr stayed in the top flight while Stewart was there culminating in a sixth-place finish in 1973, one place below Dundee F.C. whose fifth place qualified them for the 1973–74 UEFA Cup. In the 1972–73 Scottish Cup Ayr lost in the semi-final 2–0 to eventual winners, Rangers. He left in October 1973 with his time at Somerset Park overlapping that season with Alex Ferguson on the playing staff. He made 251 Ayr United first team appearances and in 2008 was the first goalkeeper to be inducted into the Ayr United Hall of Fame.
