Biography

David started his career with Hall Russell's before Aberdeen signed him up in 1930 and after four years at Pittodrie, where he mainly featured for their A team, he was allowed to leave and Bob McGlashan bought him to Gayfield in mid-June 1934. In his first season at the club his superb performances helped the club to promotion to the First Division, where he continued his impressive displays in the top division. By autumn of 1936, he was attracting attention from England and on the 6th of October he was transferred to Middlesbrough for a fee of £3000.

He was Middlesbrough's first choice keeper up until the outbreak of WW2, being capped by Scotland in a 1-0 win against England in April 1938. After the war, he continued with Middlesbrough but at the end of the 1946-47 campaign he was forced to retire due to an ongoing knee injury.
