James McConnell (23 February 1899 – 1949) was a Scottish professional footballer born in Ayr who played as a centre forward in the English Football League for Carlisle United, Crewe Alexandra and Rotherham United.[1]
McConnell began his football career following service during World War I. In June 1920, he played one game, scoring one goal, for
Bethlehem Steel.[2] He got off to a quick start, scoring seven goals in Bethlehem's first eight games of the season.[3] When his production dried up, Bethlehem shipped him to J&P Coats.
