Profile

John was yet another of Liverpool's early Scottish contingent and he arrived at Anfield during the 1894-95 season to try and shore up a defence that was leaking goals all over the place, 31 in the first dozen fixtures of a traumatic debut season in the top division. However, although Jimmy was ever-present from then until the end of the season and although the team did finally start to win matches after the turn of the year, there was too much ground to make up and a swift return to the Second Division was inevitable long before it was confirmed. Jimmy could play as right or left half-back but those two positions were mostly taken by John McCartney & James Holmes in 1895-96 so he only added a further eight appearances to his total.
