Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Archie Aikman (23 March 1925 – 21 February 1998)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played for Rangers, Falkirk, St Mirren, Stenhousemuir and Dundee United.[2] He finished as the top scorer in the Scottish Football League Division One in the 1947–48 season, scoring 20 goals.[3] He signed for Manchester City in 1948, however due to a car crash in pre-season he never played a competitive game for them.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Aikman worked with Glasgow-based station Scottish Television as a regular contributor to long-running show Scotsport and also found time to cover irregular shifts as a relief continuity announcer (often out-of-vision, sometimes in-vision) on occasions of holidays, illness or other staff absences in the Theatre Royal.[4]
