'''William Allan Lambie''' (10 January 1873 – 16 June 1936) was a Scottish [[association football|footballer]] of the 1880s and 1890s.

==Career==
Born in southern [[Glasgow]] and privately educated at the [[High School of Glasgow]],<ref name="Men Who Made"/> Lambie played mainly at [[Forward (association football)#Outside forward|outside left]] for [[Queen's Park F.C.|Queen's Park]];<ref>[http://www.qpfc.com/appearances/l/lambiew.htm Name: Lambie, William], QPFC.com</ref> he joined the club alongside school friends [[William Gulliland]] and [[Tom Waddell (footballer)|Tom Waddell]],<ref name="Men Who Made"/> and together they claimed [[Scottish Cup]] runners-up medals in [[1892 Scottish Cup Final|1892]] and winner's medals in [[1893 Scottish Cup Final|1893]] – the club's last triumph in the competition. Aside from a brief spell at [[Manchester City F.C.|Ardwick]] (Manchester City) in 1892 and one guest appearance for [[Corinthian F.C.|Corinthian]],<ref>[https://www.andrewwatsoncorinthian.co.uk/Scottish-corinthians Scottish Corinthians] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211030052134/https://www.andrewwatsoncorinthian.co.uk/scottish-corinthians |date=30 October 2021 }}, Andrew Watson: Corinthian</ref> Lambie remained at Queen's Park until around 1900, also claiming winner's medals from the minor [[Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup]] (1891, his breakthrough with four goals in the final)<ref>[https://londonhearts.com/scores/images/1891/1891050215.htm Glasgow Charity Cup.] The Scottish Referee, 4 May 1891, scan via London Hearts Supporters Club</ref><ref name="Men Who Made">{{cite book | last = Mitchell | first = Andy | url=https://www.scottishsporthistory.com/the-men-who-made-scotland.html |title = The men who made Scotland: The definitive Who's Who of Scottish Football Internationalists 1872-1939 | publisher = Amazon | year = 2021 | isbn=9798513846642}}</ref> and [[Glasgow Football League|Glasgow League]] (1897); again, these were the last occasions the ''Spiders'' lifted the trophies.

He was [[cap (sport)|capped]] nine times by the [[Scotland national football team|Scotland national team]], making his debut against [[Ireland national football team (IFA)|Ireland]] in 1892 at the age of 19. He scored five goals, including once in each of his first four appearances,<ref>[https://londonhearts.com/scotland/players/williamallanlambie.html (Scotland player) William Lambie], London Hearts Supporters Club</ref> and had a role in three [[British Home Championship]] wins ([[1893–94 British Home Championship|1893–94]], [[1895–96 British Home Championship|1895–96]] and [[1896–97 British Home Championship|1896–97]]).

In the 1901–02 season, a man purporting to be Lambie was engaged by [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] without having been seen playing. In the first few minutes of his first match it became clear that it was an imposter; he was taken off the field during the game and was promptly fired.<ref>[https://www.enfa.co.uk/ English National Football Archive], as cited in: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Lambie (footballer)]].</ref>

==Personal life==
His older brother [[John Lambie (footballer, born 1868)|John]] was also a Queen's Park regular<ref>[http://www.qpfc.com/appearances/l/lambiera.htm Name: Lambie, John Alexander], QPFC.com</ref> and an international, and holds the records for being the youngest Scotland player and captain of all time.<ref name="Men Who Made"/> A third brother, Robert, also featured for Queen's Park; the three siblings' careers barely overlapped in terms of playing together.<ref>[http://www.qpfc.com/appearances/l/lambiera.htm Name: Lambie, Robert Alexander], QPFC.com</ref><ref>[https://www.electricscotland.com/history/sport/football/chapter30.htm Chapter XXX.—Famous Brothers], History of the Queen's Park Football Club 1867 - 1917, Richard Robinson (1920), via Electric Scotland</ref>
