Alex Lambie
Alexander Lambie was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half.
Although he began his career with Ayrshire teams including Kilmarnock, Lambie featured primarily for Glasgow club Partick Thistle where he spent a decade, making 325 appearances for the Jags in all competitions and scoring 17 goals. He played for the club in the 1930 Scottish Cup Final which they lost to Rangers after a replay, but did manage to claim winner's medals in the Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup in 1927 and the one-off Glasgow Dental Hospital Cup in 1928, both against the same opponents.
After he moved on from Partick, a spell at Chester lasting just a few weeks was followed by three seasons as a regular at Swindon Town, and then further brief period in Wales with Lovell's Athletic and Ireland with Distillery before retiring.
While playing for Partick Thistle, Lambie was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI against the English Football League XI in 1928, and took part in the last Home Scots v Anglo-Scots international trial match in the same year, although this did not lead to a full cap for Scotland. He also played in two editions of the Glasgow Football Association's annual challenge match against Sheffield.
His nephews Jim, Jock and Tom Brown were all footballers, and their sons also became sportsmen
