James McLean (1876–1914) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Preston North End, Walsall and West Bromwich Albion.[1]
McLean played for Sneyd before joining Burslem Port Vale in the summer of 1896.[2] He made his debut at inside-right in a 4–2 defeat at Dresden United in a Staffordshire Senior Cup preliminary round replay on 26 October 1896.[2] He made his Midland Football League debut five days later, scoring in a 3–2 defeat at Wellingborough Town.[2] Despite the goal this was to be his final appearance for the club.[2]
He finished his career at Preston together with James Wilson in the summer of 1911.[3] Around that time, he emigrated to Australia, where he played. He died in 1914.[4]
