Career

Born in Sheffield, Stewart played for Sheffield Wednesday and Colchester United in the Football League from 1946 until 1957, and with non-league clubs Hastings United and Clacton Town.

A member of the first ever Colchester United side to play in a Football League game, Reg was an uncompromising central defender who came south from Sheffield Wednesday.

A regular in the heart of the defence for seven years, he played some 268 times for the U's before leaving to sign for Clacton Town.
