Biography

Ernie Ewan was signed by George Anderson in 1944 and played at inside right for the club and was a noted goalscorer, notching 33 in the first season after the return to competitive football after the war.

He aggregated 68 goals in a dark blue jersey, which was an excellent strike rate given that he only made 122 competitive appearances.

Released at the end of season 1951-52, he then spent two seasons on the books of his home town club Aberdeen before finishing his career with St Johnstone for whom he scored over 50 goals in 231 appearances before hanging up his boots in 1959.

His connection with the game wasn't severed because for many years he was on the Tannadice backroom staff in charge of United's reserve side.
