Football League for Bradford City as a goalkeeper. He also played in the Scottish League for Airdrieonians in two spells and won one cap for Scotland at international level. The SFA described him as "a goalkeeper who helped to perpetuate the myth of eccentricity required for the position".[2]
Career

one season before seeing out his career with Second Division club Preston North End and retiring in 1931.[6] Shortly after his retirement, Ewart was suspended from football sine die by the FA for an alleged match fixing incident.[6][3]
At representative level, Ewart made two appearances for the
Scottish League XI in 1910 and 1911.[1] He won a single full cap for Scotland in a 3–0 1920–21 British Home Championship win over England on 9 April 1921.[2] After retiring from football, Ewart returned to the game as a trainer.[6]
Personal life
Ewart spoke French and German and was a skilled flute, piccolo and violin player.[2] He served as a private during the First World War, firstly in the West Yorkshire Regiment and latterly in the Training Reserve.[9] Ewart was a publican later in life.[6][3]
