James Wallace (13 December 1937 – 22 March 2007) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers and Stoke City.[1]

Career

Wallace was born in Birkenhead and joined Stoke City's youth team in the 1950s.[1] He made six appearances for Stoke during the 1958–59 season and made two more in the following season where he scored against Sheffield United in April 1960.[1] Because of an injury in training with new manager Tony Waddington Wallace became surplus to requirements and so was released.[1] He joined Northwich Victoria before enjoying a brief spell back in league football with Doncaster Rovers before returning to non-league with Stafford Rangers.[1]

Jimmy went on to have a successful career in non-league management. After serving as Manager at Ball Haye Green and Eastwood (Hanley), he was appointed Manager of Nantwich Town in the summer of 1980.[2] He led the Dabbers to their one and only Cheshire County League title in 1981 before taking over at Leek Town in November 1981. He returned to Eastwood (Hanley) before managing Kidsgrove Athletic and Newcastle Town.[2]
