David Lindsay joined St.Mirren in 1899, making his debut against Partick Thistle at Meadowside in a West of Scotland League match. His Scottish league debut came on the 30th December at St Bernards.

He soon made the right wing position his own and earned a reputation as a fast tricky player, supplying many telling crosses. He could also score goals and during the 1900-01 season he netted seven from 20 games.

Over the next few seasons his good form continued and he occasionally was asked to turn out at centre forward and proved a capable leader of the front line.

This play was rewarded by an international cap against Ireland in 1903.

He left Love Street for Hearts in 1905.
