Percy Jameson (21 July 1917 – 1981) was an English amateur footballer who played in the Football League for Darlington.[2]
Jameson was born in Sunderland in 1917, the son of Percy Jameson, an electrical engineer, and his wife Alice née Daglish. He had two older siblings, Harold and Margaret.[3] [4] He signed for Sunderland from St Gabriel's as a "well-built young inside right" in the 1933 close season.[5] He made no senior appearances for the club, and in 1936 signed amateur forms for Third Division North club Darlington, by which time he was playing either as a wing half or at inside forward.[6] He made what proved to be his only senior appearance for the club, and only appearance in the Football League, playing at centre forward in a 1–0 win at home to Halifax Town on 1 April 1939.[7] [8] At the time of his wedding to Ada Scriven at Brunswick Methodist Chapel, Stockton-on-Tees, in 1943, Jameson was still a member of the Darlington club.[9] His death at the age of 63 was registered in Sunderland in 1981.[10]
