James T. Henderson (born 10 June 1877) was an English professional footballer who played as a left-sided wing half.
Born in Morpeth, Northumberland, Henderson started his career with his local club Morpeth Harriers in the Northern Alliance before signing for Reading in 1903.[1] He moved on to Bradford City in May 1904, leaving the club in July 1905 after 14 league appearances to sign for Leeds City.[2] His Leeds debut was their first-ever match in the Football League, which was against Bradford; his former club 1–0.[1] He went on to play 75 league matches and five cup games in three seasons, before joining Preston North End in 1908.[1]
After making only six league appearances for Preston,[3] Henderson signed for Clapton Orient, joining his brother Bill. A year later he joined Rochdale, where he remained until transferring to South Liverpool in 1914.[3] He returned to Rochdale after World War I and played for the club until December 1919.[3] [1] He later played non-League football for Rochdale Pioneers and worked as a trainer at Rochdale until 1930.[3] [1]
Away from football Henderson was also a good sprinter, running 100 yards in 11 second for Morpeth Harriers athletics club in 1908.[1]
