James Conlin
James "Jimmy" Conlin (6 July 1881 – 23 June 1917) was an English footballer who played as a left-sided winger.
Although born in England he spent most of his life in Scotland. He played club football for Falkirk, Albion Rovers, Bradford City, Manchester City, Birmingham City and Airdrieonians between 1899 and 1913.〔 He represented the English national side once, in 1906, in a match against Scotland,〔 and he was only the second player in British football to be transferred for a fee of £1,000.〔 He retired from football in 1914 just prior to the outbreak of the First World War, and was subsequently killed in action on 23 June 1917 while serving his country in Flanders prior to the Third Battle of Ypres.〔 He has no known remains or grave, his death being commemorated instead on the Nieuport Memorial, Arrondissement Veurne, West-Vlaanderen.

Conlin was a "fast and tricky" player; only 5 ft 5 inches tall, he could cross balls for the centre forwards as well as score goals himself.〔 Born in Consett, County Durham, of a Scottish steel-working father and an English mother (Luke and Mary Ann Conlin), Jimmy and his three younger siblings were raised in the Lanarkshire area east of Glasgow often referred to as Old Monkland.〔 He began his football career playing in the Lanarkshire North Western Junior Football League〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lanarkshire North Western Junior Football League )〕 with Captain Colt's Rovers.〔 From there he moved to league rivals Airdrie St. Margarets and then on to the Glasgow Junior Football League side,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glasgow Junior Football League )〕 Cambuslang Hibernian.〔 From Cambuslang Hibernian he joined Falkirk sometime in 1899, making his debut in a Falkirk District Football League match away at East Stirlingshire on 30 December 1899, a game which his new team lost 6–3. In his two seasons playing at Falkirk - who were at the time playing in both the Central Football Combination〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Central Football Combination )〕 and the supplemental Falkirk District Football League - Conlin scored seven goals in 17 combined league appearances, and eleven goals in 25 appearances in all competitions.
On 14 March 1901, Conlin transferred from Falkirk to Albion Rovers (who played in the Scottish Football Combination League), at which point his career and national notoriety as a supremely talented left winger began to take off.〔 At Rovers, Conlin won the Scottish Football Combination championship in both the 1901–02 and 1902–03 seasons, and these back-to-back titles also secured Rovers an election to the Scottish League Second Division in the following season (1903–04).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scottish Football Combination )〕 Rovers also reached the now defunct Lanarkshire Cup Final on 15 March 1902, but lost this derby game 0–3 to Hamilton Academical.〔 Once he was playing in the Second Division of the national league, Conlin caught the attention of scouts from a number of English clubs, and at the end of the 1903–04 season Conlin was transferred amid great controversy to Bradford City for a fee of £100, but only after the Bantams had been fined £50 by a joint committee of English and Scottish F.A. officials for making an 'illegal' approach for the player.〔
