”’Alexander ‘Alex’ McIntosh”’ ([[14 April]] [[1916]] – [[1980]]) was an [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[Association football|footballer]], who played in the [[Football League]] for [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]], [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] and [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]].

==Career==
McIntosh moved into league football [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] from [[Non-League football|non-league]] [[Folkestone F.C.|Folkestone Town]] in 1937. He made his league debut on [[23 October]] [[1937]] in a 2-1 win at {{afc|Leeds United}}. He became a first choice payer the following season, which featured a run through to the [[1939 FA Cup Final|FA Cup Final]], where they lost to underdogs {{fc|Portsmouth}} at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]].

After the suspension of league football in September 1939 due to the outbreak of [[World War II]], McIntosh still turned out for Wolves in wartime fixtures, and was part of their [[1942 Football League War Cup Final|1942 War Cup]] triumph.

By the resumption of the [[Football League]], he was no longer part of manager [[Ted Vizard]]’s plans and played just four more times before joining Midlands neighbours [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] in 1947. After a short stay there, he moved on again, joining [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] for an equally brief spell.

He died in [[1980]].
