No.26
- Colin Stewart
Full Name:
Colin Stewart
Nickname:
Big Col
Position:
Goalkeeper
Date of Birth:
10th January 1980
Birthplace:
Middlesbrough
Height:
6ft 3ins
Weight:
13st 5lbs
Former Clubs:
Ipswich Town, Queen's Park (loan),
Clydebank (loan), Hamilton (loan), Stranraer (loan),
Queen's Park (loan).
Signed KFC:
1st August 1999
Notes:
This lad has more loans to his name than The Royal Bank of Scotland! It's
good to see he's in demand though, and getting first team experience into
the bargain, experience which could prove invaluable if or when he is
called into the fray for our first team. Colin is the son of former Killie
stalwart Jim Stewart and has followed in his fathers footsteps (or should
that be gloves?) in becoming a goalkeeper at Kilmarnock FC. Killie have a
reputation for producing great goalies and Colin appears to be following
in that tradition. From what we've seen of him he seems to be a great
prospect for the future and when the time comes for the Marshall to hang
up his gloves he will be a serious contender for the no.1 shirt, but then
again Colin Meldrum will probably have something to say about that.

Tall
goalkeeper and excellent shot stopper, son of Killie legend, Jim
Stewart. He has had various spells on loan with different clubs to
get him first team experience. May need to work harder on dealing
with crosses and become more aggressive and vocal before he can make
inroads into the first team. He has a good teacher though.
Will Blobby be greeting on Saturday ?

I'm
not a big fan of Stewart, I've seen him in couple of games and I
must admit I'm not impressed. Made some silly mistakes against
Kilwinning at Abbey Park, and IMO will never be as good as his dad
was!! (not that I can remember his dad playing for Killie!!! 
)

well
I think I seem to be the only one that rates him...I think when Marshall FINALLY retires 
, stewart will jump ahead of poor Colin Meldrum for the 1st place

This
lad WILL be Killie's No1.
When Golden Gordon hangs up his gloves young Stewart will take over.
He has a fantastic kick out, roars like a bull at his defence but
still has a lot to learn. It will come, and if he's half as good as
his old man, that'll do me.
Good luck.

| Have
only seen him playing once at Hull and I wasn't' all that impressed
(sorry!), but apparently he has been outstanding on his loan spells.
Colin is still young and has plenty of time to mature and goalies
normally get better as they get older, so only time will tell.
Trouble is his contract is up at the end of the season, so will he
stay? |

Spitting
image of his old man and if he turns out anywhere near as good then
he'll do alright. He certainly looks like a goalie but seems to
commit the odd clanger that lets him down I'm hopeful his spells
away on loan will help develop him into a future Killie keeper.
