Alex Downie (footballer)

Alex Downie (born 1876 in Dunoon) was a Scottish footballer who played as a half-back. In the late 1800s, he joined Bristol City and Swindon Town before moving to Manchester United in October 1902. He was able to play in all three half-back positions, and thus earned a regular first-team spot even after being replaced Dick Duckworth. In 1909, after scoring 14 goals in 191 appearances for United, he moved to Oldham Athletic. In the 1909-10 season, he skippered the Latics to promotion to the First Division.
