Alexander Donald (29 May 1900 – 10 April 1952) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in Scotland, England and the United States of America in the 1920s and 1930s.
Donald was born in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire in May 1900 and began his senior footballing career with his local junior league team Kirkintilloch Harp,[1] junior in this context referring to the level of the league within Scottish football, not to the age of the participants.
On arrival in the United States he signed for Indiana Flooring, a New York-based team who were members of the American Soccer League and who played their home games at the New York Oval.
[5] After protracted negotiations with the Nationals, during which the American club agreed to award the pair some back payments for the period they were unable to play, Donald and Chatton returned to New York to re-join their former side.
He worked as a school attendance officer in the town but struggled with poor health in later years and eventually died there on 10 April 1952 after a long illness.
