Dougie Wallace

International Despite his birthplace, Wallace made three appearances for Scotland in unofficial wartime fixtures, scoring a brace in a 3–2 win over England in February 1941; however the other two caps were in defeats to the same opposition. In the last of these, a 4–0 loss at Hampden Park, Wallace reacted to rough treatment from England captain Stan Cullis by grabbing the defender by the groin.

He had also been selected by the Scottish Football League XI in 1941 (the representative match was arranged for the benefit of the RAF Benevolent Fund even though the league itself had been suspended) and was among the scorers again, albeit in a 3–2 defeat by The Football League XI.

Personal life His son Gordon – born in Scotland, raised in Wales – also became a footballer, playing in England for Liverpool and Crewe Alexandra.

He died in 1999 in Merseyside, England.
