James Douglas McIntosh (3 August 1936 – 2 October 2016)[1] [2] was a Scottish footballer who played for Falkirk, primarily as a left half, although he was a versatile player and also featured as a left back.[1] [2] He was part of the Bairns squad which won the Scottish Cup in 1957,[1] although he did not take part in the match itself, and played in three Scottish Football League fixtures over four days after the cup final to avoid relegation that season.[3]
He played three times for Scotland under-23s[2] [4] and was in consideration for the full squad prior to the 1958 FIFA World Cup, playing in a trial match between a Scottish Football League XI team and a Scottish Football Association team;[5] however shortly afterwards he suffered a knee injury which ruled him out at a crucial time.[1]
Either side of his eight-year senior spell at Falkirk,[6] he played for hometown team Forres Mechanics in the Highland League and also managed the club,[1] leading them to a Scottish Qualifying Cup win soon after his arrival (the only time they claimed the trophy).[7] In later life he alternated between the towns in various business ventures, particularly the development of public houses.[1] [2]
