David Allan

David Steel Allan was born in Irvine (Ayrshire) on 30 April 1863. He died on 26 June 1930.
He learned his football at Ayr Academy and, on moving to Glasgow to start his career as a stockbroker, it was no surprise that he joined Queen's Park in 1880. He won four Scottish Cup medals in 1881, 1884, 1886 and 1890 as well as playing in the Glasgow club's two historic appearances in the (English) FA Cup final. The English connection was enhanced by occasional appearances for Corinthians.
