And in his personal life we know that he had at least three sons, so presumably having married, because one, John, himself played for Hamilton, a second, also Jimmy, was a local footballer and a third, Eddie, from the local game spent a decade Down South in the English lower leagues. But that is about it apart from Jimmy Snr. winning two caps, in 1931 and 1932, spending the last season before the outbreak of the Second War at Alloa Athletic, that he worked in Motherwell as a senior foreman in the repair department of a mining equipment manufacturer until retirement and in 1985 died in hospital in Carluke at the age of almost seventy-nine. More information is needed about his wife, other children and where he lived from 1921 to his passing.
