Duncan Cameron "Dunkie" Stewart was not at all a Dumbarton-boy. He was born in 1865, the youngest of seven children, four girls and three boys, in Port Glasgow, so across and down the Clyde. And he would die Port Glasgow also, in 1958 at the age of ninety-two. So why he spent five seasons at The Sons of the Rock might seem something of a mystery but he did and very successfully, including a cap, the captaincy of Scotland and participation in a 10-2 away-victory. 

But, despite appearing to be a home-bird, even in Port Glasgow he began at least as something of an incomer. Both his father, a mason, and his mother were born in Kilbarchan. And in 1902 he would marry a farmer's daughter, Elizabeth Gibb, the wedding in "distant" Erskine, actually on her family's farm by Bishopton, and spend some time living in her "home" village of Kilmacolm. However, throughout he worked, had worked and would work as a Ships' Joiner, which perhaps provides a reason, one outwith football, for Dumbarton with its then booming shipyards and means that throughout, whilst he was a fine full-back with a decade in the game, he treated it as something of an add-on.
