James Stewart (1885 – 28 July 1960) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside right. Stewart played for Motherwell before he joined Liverpool in 1909.[2][4] He made his English Football League debut at the start of the 1909–10 season and played every match bar one, as Liverpool finished as runners-up. He scored 18 goals during his debut season, but he was unable to replicate this form over the following seasons as he only made a further 25 appearances in the next four seasons. He left Liverpool in 1913 and returned to Scotland to play for Hamilton Academical.[1][4][5] He later worked as a trainer (assisted in some cases by his son of the same name) at clubs including Hamilton, Blackpool, Dundee and Portsmouth.[1][2][5]
