Biography

Albert captained local team Rovers prior to starting to represent us, his debut coming in a game against Aberdeen in autumn 1893 in the Northern League. He quickly established himself as a regular in the team and as he became one of our finest players he was awarded the captaincy for the 1895-96 season. He received several Forfarshire caps over the course of this campaign also, before he was signed by Hearts in the summer of 1896.

He would go on to establish himself at Hearts, and then in later years Portsmouth, as well as being awarded two Scotland caps and incredibly captaining his country on debut. He returned to Gayfield as an Arbroath player in January 1898, being signed for the afternoon to play in the Forfarshire Cup Final.

Incredibly in September 1914, over 15 years from his last appearance for the club, he played in a Qualifying Cup tie against Arbroath Amateurs. Albert's brother, Steven, also played for the club during the 1880s and briefly again at the end of the 1890s.
