Ian Lennox Taylor Smith (born 2 April 1952), sometimes listed as Ian Taylor-Smith, is a Scottish former footballer who played in the Scottish Football League for Queens Park, Heart of Midlothian and Queen of the South, and in the Football League for Birmingham City. He played as a forward.
Smith was born in Edinburgh. He studied medicine, and eventually qualified as a doctor, combining this with playing football on an amateur or semi-professional basis. He spent time with several clubs in both Scotland and England, playing league football only where it did not interfere with his medical career. While with Birmingham City, he scored regularly for the reserve team and was highly rated, but his work at the Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre restricted him to only two first-team appearances.
His father, Jimmy, played professionally for Clyde and St Mirren in the 1930s, and his son, Matt, turned professional with Oldham Athletic in 2011.
