Robert Calderwood (4 October 1862 – 13 May 1939) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left or centre forward for Cartvale (1878 club), Cowlairs, Bootle, Newcastle West End, Thistle, Cartvale (1892 club) and Scotland.[2]
Calderwood scored three goals[a] for Scotland in the 1884–85 British Home Championship. He was later suspended for two years by the Scottish Football Association[2][4] . The suspension was imposed because he was judged to have become a professional after signing for English club Bootle. This came to light after he made an appearance for Cowlairs in the (amateur-only) 1887–88 Scottish Cup, despite having already turned professional. He returned to play at a high level after this suspension.[1]
