James Nicholl (12 January 1887 – 21 December 1948) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as an outside left.[1]
After breaking into top-level football with Airdrieonians, in 1910 he moved to England with Middlesbrough where he made 56 appearances, scoring 13 goals, before joining Liverpool in January 1914.[2] He played at Anfield for eighteen months, and featured in the 1914 FA Cup Final (having scored both his team's goals to win the semi-final), but his career in England was ended by the outbreak of World War I – he had a short spell back in Scotland with Hamilton Academical.[3]
