James Turner (6 October 1866 – 25 November 1903) was an English footballer, who played in the Football League for Bolton Wanderers, Derby County and Stoke. He also gained three caps for England.[1] [2]
Turner was born in Stoke-upon-Trent but started his football career at Black Lane Rovers F.C. in 1887.[3] The following year he moved to Bolton Wanderers where he spent six seasons making 103 appearances for the "Trotters" before joining his home town club Stoke in August 1894.[1] In the 1894–95 season Stoke struggled and had to play a test match against Newton Heath to remain in the First Division, Stoke won the match 3–0 and stayed up.[1] Turner established himself at left half for the 1895–96 season making 27 appearances.[1] He joined Derby County in 1896 where he spent two seasons reaching the 1898 FA Cup Final losing out to Nottingham Forest before he re-joined Stoke in 1898.[1] He played seven matches before retiring due to injury.[1]
