He turned professional in 1951, but National Service intervened,
and he didn't make his debut until 1955. Spent the first part of
his career at Leeds primarily covering for Grenville Hair, before
taking over Jimmy Dunn's right-back slot when Dunn was forced to
retire through injury. He moved on to non-league Weymouth in
1961.
Paul Hooper says: I recently (1995/6) spent a year working with
Jim in a gloucestershire garden centre ,I found him to be a modest
gent with a great sense of humour . he can still be found on most
wednesdays in the Safeway store in Hatherley near Cheltenham and
resides in nearby Churchdown village Gloucestershire.A genuine nice
bloke.
