Alexander George Cheyne (28 April 1907 – 5 July 1983) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward.
During his time at Pittodrie he became an idol of the locals, and his goals helped improve the team from regular mid-table finishes to third place in his final season.
[4][1] Cheyne joined David Calderhead's Chelsea in 1930 for a club record fee of £6,000 but, despite playing alongside other talented forwards such as Hughie Gallacher and Alex Jackson,[5] he struggled to settle.
Cheyne is reported to have made scoring from corners something of a speciality, having performed the feat twice more for his club side the following season.
[3] Upon retiring Cheyne moved into coaching, initially with Chelmsford City winning trophies in the Southern Football League.
