Alex Brand

Alex was signed in June 1933 from Aberdeen junior team Hall Russell's where he played during the 1932-33 season, the centre forward also having trials with Aberdeen A. His first season at the club was outstanding, with a return of 39 goals in 40 games and he continued his superb scoring form during the following campaign with 27 goals in 36 games, helping the club secure promotion to the First Division. He continued his scoring exploits in the top division over the next four seasons, averaging well over a goal every two games throughout this period. In early January 1939 he suffered an injury which kept him out for the remainder of the 1938-39 season and at the end of the campaign he was released on a free.

After leaving he went on to have a brief spell with Montrose before spending time with Aberdeen junior club Mugiemoss during WW2. He re-signed for a brief spell in mid-September 1944, making a further five appearances before returning to Mugiemoss before the end of the year.
