James Stevenson (31 December 1872 – 3 March 1925) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dumbarton (two spells), Preston North End (two spells), Bristol St George and West Bromwich Albion. For much of his career he played as a forward but in his later years operated at centre half.[5]
He was selected for the annual Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match in 1903,[6] but never played for Scotland at full international level.
Stevenson was from Dumbarton, where he was killed in 1925 in a boiler room accident at Denny's Shipbuilding Yard.[7] He had eight children with his wife Jessie Jane, née Strachan; their sixth child was the civil servant Sir Matthew Stevenson.[8]
