James Dougal (3 October 1913 – 17 October 1999) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward for Kilsyth Rangers, Falkirk, Preston North End, Carlisle United, Halifax Town and Chorley, either side of World War II.[3]
He featured on the losing side (playing at outside right) in the 1937 FA Cup Final with Preston – where there was a large contingent of Scottish players in the period – but did not take part the following year when the Lilywhites claimed the trophy due to injury.[4] He was the club's top goalscorer in the 1938–39 season, and won the Football League War Cup in 1941.
He represented Scotland once, scoring his side's goal in a 2–1 defeat to England in April 1939.[5] He also scored in an unofficial wartime International, also against England, in May 1940.[6]
His brothers Billy (18 years older) and Peter and nephew Neil were also footballers, the latter playing for Scotland six years after Jimmy.[7]
