Biography

Jim played for the club in our first ever game against Dundee Our Boys in the Scottish Cup in 1878 and was a hugely important part of the team through the 1880s. He continued to represent the club and played until the end of the 1890-91 season, his career at Gayfield seeing him feature in 12 of our first 13 seasons.
