Stewart McNab Adam Scullion (born 18 April 1946) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as a winger. Born in Bo'ness, Scotland, he started his professional career in the Football League, helping Watford to the Third Division title, and then spending three seasons at Sheffield United. After a second spell at Watford, he joined Tampa Bay Rowdies in the North American Soccer League. He was their second highest goalscorer in his first season, and in both years was named in the league's second All-star team. Scullion briefly returned to England with Wimbledon, before finishing his professional career in America with the Portland Timbers.
Scullion moved to England from his hometown of Bo'ness, West Lothian aged 13. He attended Bourne Secondary School in Ruislip, and worked as a clerk for British European Airways.
Scullion started his football career at amateur club Chesham United, who at that time played in the Athenian League. He joined Football League side Charlton Athletic as an amateur in November 1964, turning professional three months later. However, Scullion did not play a league game for Charlton, and in February 1966 he was signed by Watford manager Ken Furphy in a deal that saw Cliff Holton move in the opposite direction. On 25 January 1969, Scullion scored the opening goal in a 1–1 draw against Manchester United in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford. He also played in the replay on 3 February. Watford lost 2–0, but set their highest ever attendance of 34,099. At the end of the 1968–69 season, Watford were promoted as champions. Scullion remained at the club for two further seasons, before being sold to Sheffield United for £25,000 in May 1971. The season after Scullion's departure, Watford were relegated, winning only 5 of their 42 league games in the 1971–72 season. During his two and a half years in Sheffield, Scullion played 57 league games, scoring 7 goals, before being sold back to Watford for £15,000 in December 1973. Watford finished 7th in Scullion's first full season back at the club, but were relegated to the Football League Fourth Division in his second.
