James J Thomson

James J Thomson who represented Scotland on 3 occasions between 1872 -74 was born on March 26,1846 and died on July 22,1933. The website I wish to cite for this information is the European international football database at EU Football. The link is eu-football. info/_player. php/I'd=20970.

Hi Sean, unfortunately that site is wrong. JJ Thomson's correct dates and biography are in Andy Mitchell's book 'First Elevens' which has details for all the players in the first international match of 1872. You can also read about him in his blog at http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-history-news-and-blog/an-unseen-photo-of-a-football-pioneer
