James Baillie (8 June 1902 – date of death unknown) was a Scottish professional footballer.
Career[edit]
Born in Hamilton, Baillie played for local youth side Wishaw before joining Derry Celtic. In 1926, he joined Football League First Division side Cardiff City.[1] However, with several established players such as Fred Keenor and Harry Wake in the side, Baillie struggled to break into the first team.[1] He made his professional debut on 25 September 1926 in a 2–0 defeat to Manchester United but made only three further appearances during the 1926–27 season.[2] The following year, he made just one appearance during a 5–1 defeat to West Ham United, his last appearance for the first team.[2]
He joined Fulham in 1930 before returning to Scotland a year later and signing for Dundee United.[3] He made his debut for the club in a 2–2 draw with Falkirk on 7 November 1931, making four further appearances for the club before being released in 1932.[3]
