Alex Edwards (14 February 1946 – 11 December 2024) was a Scottish footballer who played as a winger for Dunfermline, Hibernian and Arbroath.
Jock Stein gave Edwards his league debut just five days after his 16th birthday in March 1962,[3] which made him the second-youngest outfield player (after Andy Penman of Dundee) to play in a Scottish Football League match.
[4] He then featured as a 16-year-old in Dunfermline's famous 6–2 home victory against Valencia in 1962.
[4] He went on to play for Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup finals of 1965 and 1968, winning the latter.
Hibs challenged for the league title that season as well, but fell away after Edwards was banned for eight weeks having been booked four times.
