Career
Known to have been nicknamed "Buck" because he was a "natty dresser", Stewart was a considerable player but one of many whose best years were before 1772 and whose records are mostly lost. Stewart worked as a carpenter, shoemaker and innkeeper. He is said to have been one of the team’s characters and a noted humorist.
Stewart was a stoic, durable player.
In one 1764 game against Chertsey, he played with a knee strain and a broken finger.
