Allan Calderwood McKinstrey Todd (5 October 1910 – 1975) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played for Scottish clubs Leith Athletic and Cowdenbeath, and represented English sides Port Vale, Nottingham Forest, and Darlington.

Career

[edit]

Todd played for Wellesley, Leith Athletic and Cowdenbeath, before joining English side Port Vale in October 1932.[1] He featured nine times for the "Valiants" in 1932–33, but remained at The Old Recreation Ground whilst rivals Jock Leckie and Ben Davies both departed.[1] He played 29 times in 1933–34, beating off competition from Ormond Jones.[1] However, he played just once in 1935–36, as the club suffered relegation with John Potts between the sticks.[1] Todd played 39 times in the Third Division North in 1936–37, but refused a new contract with Vale and was given a free transfer to Nottingham Forest in exchange for Arthur Masters.[1] After leaving the City Ground, Todd later played for Darlington.
