Andrew Stewart was with Davie one of two brothers, who, like the Hamiltons, Alick and James, would be born in the Gorbals, then move across the river yet both go on to play not just for Queen's Park but also Scotland, he, the younger, capped just before arrival at Hampden, Davie, the elder, after. 

They were the sons of a mother, Isabelle, from Kilmarnock, who would die in 1876, Andy just four, and a father from Carluke, recorded on Andy's birth certificate as a Commercial Traveller but on the census that same year, 1871, as a Clerk at a Saw Mill and Timber Yard. And it would be timber that would be a central theme of Andy's life, at least that outwith football. 

In 1877 Andy and Davie's father would remarry and with his second wife, Charlotte Wilson, have three children to add to Isabelle's six. The combined family would then be raised in Kelvin and later Partick, Davie becoming a clerk in and eventually manager of what had through the efforts of his father become the family concern, Wylie, Stewart and Marshall, Saywers and Timber Merchants. It had its mill in the Firhill Basin, so by Kelvin, at back of what would from 1909 become Partick Thistle's stadium. 

Meantime, he, like his elder brother, had shown talent as a footballer, also starting with Minerva, close by Kelvin in Finnieston, and then at eighteen and a right-winger joining Third Lanark for four season to 1894. Indeed it was that same year whilst still at Cathkin that he would be awarded a single cap; a win over Wales. However, even with the arrival of professionalism Andy Stewart remained amateur. It would therefore have made sense, indeed with his brother already there, come as little surprise, when he moved, via a couple months at Partick, across to Queen's Park, spending the next five seasons there on a somewhat ad hoc basis, guesting elsewhere when it suited, fitting the game around work, until the boots were hung up in 1899, he aged just twenty-seven.

Of course after football life continued. There was the business. And Andy would by 1901 meet Annie, also a Stewart, from Helensburgh and in 1902 marry her in the sea-side town. They would then move to his family's home in Partick, where a daughter would be born, but eventually settle back in Annie's equivalent. And it would be in Dunbartonshire by the water that they would remain, Annie dying young, in 1921 at just forty-three, and he, never remarrying, following her almost twenty years later in 1939 a month short of his sixty-eighth birthday.
