Robert Calderwood (4 October 1862 – 13 May 1939) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left or centre forward for Cartvale (1878 club), Cowlairs, Bootle, Newcastle West End, Thistle, Cartvale (1892 club) and Scotland.[2]
Calderwood scored three goals[lower-alpha 1] for Scotland in the 1884–85 British Home Championship, but was later suspended for two years by the Scottish Football Association for being adjudged to have become a professional when signing for English club Bootle before making an appearance for Cowlairs in the (amateur-only) 1887–88 Scottish Cup.[2][4] He returned to play at a high level after this suspension.[1]
Notes
- 1 2 The SFA website and London Hearts website credit Calderwood with two goals against Wales; Andy Mitchell's book and John Litster's files assign the first of these to William Anderson.[1][3]
