Stuart Gilchrist Stewart (26 April 1907 – 26 April 1978)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]
Football
Stewart joined Hawthorn from Ararat at the commencement of the 1926 VFL season.[5] Hard working, energetic and combative, Stewart was one of the best and most consistent players to represent Hawthorn during their inaugural decade in the VFL, being awarded 25 Brownlow Medal votes during his career. Equally at home across half back or in the ruck, Stewart was renowned for his ability to bring down high-flying marks seemingly regardless of the risk. He represented Victoria on 5 occasions.
In 1936, Stewart became playing-coach of the Hawthorn seconds.[6]
