Have you contacted the club? I would be surprised if there wasn't someone associated with the club who would have information about your uncle's playing career.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

There are books on the history of the club. It would also be worthwhile looking at the newspapers. The Aberdeen Journal/Press and Journal and the Aberdeen Evening Express would both have accounts of matches etc. There would perhaps be an account of his career when he died.
