Raymond "Ray" Strean McDonald Stewart (7 September 1959 in Stanley, Perthshire) was a Scottish International footballer of the late 70's, 80s and early 90's. During his career he played for Dundee United, West Ham United, St Johnstone and Stirling Albion.


Having transferred to West Ham from Dundee United for a fee in excess of £400,000 in 1979 whilst still a teenager, he became an instant favourite with the fans who nicknamed him "Tonka" after Tonka Toys, which were described as 'Indestructible'. This was because of his ability to take penalties, scoring 76 penalties out of 86.

He is also notable to be the only non-English player to appear for West Ham United in any of their 3 FA Cup winning sides and played a pivotal role in the club's successful period of the early 80's.

He later became a manager, with spells at Forfar Athletic, Livingston and Stirling Albion but was sacked on each occasion.
