Once in East London, he immediately made his first and only appearance for his new club against Swindon Town on 27 December 1913.
Jimmy died not far from Lancaster in 1968.

Another one that I 'accidently' found info about. He was injured in WW1 but can't find anything further about his football career. Friends with Orr.
