James "Jimmy" Moore (born 11 May 1889) was an English footballer who played at inside-left for Derby County and made one appearance for England in 1923.
Football career
Moore was born in Handsworth[2] in Birmingham and after playing for local sides Quebec Albion and Cradley Heath joined Glossop in the summer of 1911.[2]
He remained with Glossop, then playing in the Football League Second Division for two seasons before moving to Derby County of the First Division for a fee of £1,500 in October 1913.[2] Although Derby were relegated at the end of Moores's first season with the club, they bounced back and returned as champions in 1915.[3] By this time, however, the First World War had broken out and football was suspended until 1919.[2]
On Christmas Day 1922 (now back in the Second Division), Moore scored five goals for Derby County in a 6–0 victory over Crystal Palace.[4]
In May 1923, Moore was called up to the England team for a tour of Sweden and was one of six débutantes selected for the match against Sweden on 21 May.[5] Although Moore scored in a 4–2 victory, he lost his place for the next game to his namesake, Billy Moore of West Ham United;[6] neither Moore was selected for England again. At the time of his solitary England appearance, Moore was aged 34 years and 11 days.[7]
Moore remained at Derby County until March 1926, helping the club to regain their First Division status, before joining Chesterfield where he spent a season. He then made a few appearances in non-league football for Mansfield Town before winding up his career at Worcester City.[2]
