Career
Lindsay started his senior career with Partick Thistle in 1922.[1] After suffering a serious knee injury, he switched to the Welsh side Rhyl Athletic for the 1927–28 season, and he scored 60 goals for the club.[1] This brought him to the attention of English First Division side Liverpool, who signed him in April 1928.[1] He made his Liverpool debut on 1 December 1928, starting the match in a 3–0 victory over Derby County.[2] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 January 1929, in a 5–2 FA Cup fourth round replay defeat to Bolton Wanderers.[3] He left the club when his contract expired in January 1930, having made 16 appearances in total for Liverpool.[1] Lindsay then moved back to Wales, where he joined Swansea Town, before moving back to Rhyl Athletic in 1931.[1] He later played in Northern Ireland for Bangor City and in Scotland for Lochgelly Amateurs.[1]
