Sandy Higgins
Alex "Sandy" Higgins (1888 in Kilmarnock – 15 March 1939) was a footballer with Newcastle United between 1905 and 1919, playing 150 games and scoring 41 goals. Sandy played in the forward position.
Sandy could go by players with ease, but sometimes would be selfish with the ball and would try to do more than passing a simple ball. He won a Championship and FA Cup with Newcastle. His clubs included: Kilmarnock, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Jarrow and Norwich City.
He was the son of Sandy Higgins, Snr.,[1] who had been a Scottish Cup winner with Kilmarnock as well as playing for Derby County and Nottingham Forest.[2] Higgins Jnr. won four caps for Scotland, all while with Newcastle United.[3] He later played for Kilmarnock, and was with the club when they won the 1920 Scottish Cup, but did not play in the final.[1]
