Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

In 1921, Smith joined Thistle, a team in the Association Football League, an ethnically British league in Chicago. A year later, he was with the All Scots in the same league. At the time, Chicago teams would tour during the off-season and Smith came to the attention of the Brooklyn Wanderers of the American Soccer League. They signed him for the 1923–24 season, but he saw time in only nine games. He became the regular starter the next season, a position he held for much of the next five years. Over the course of his career with the Wanderers, he played 246 league, 11 National Challenge Cup and 12 League Cup games. In 1930, Smith returned to his native Scotland and joined Aberdeen F.C. where he finished his career in 1938.[2]
