James Moore (born 11 May 1889, date of death unknown)[2] 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[3] in Birmingham and after playing for local sides Quebec Albion and Cradley Heath joined Glossop in the summer of 1911.[3]

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.[3] Although Derby were relegated at the end of Moores's first season with the club, they bounced back and returned as champions in 1915.[4] By this time, however, the First World War had broken out and football was suspended until 1919.[3]

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.[5]

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.[6] 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;[7] neither Moore was selected for England again. At the time of his solitary England appearance, Moore was aged 34 years and 11 days.[8]

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.[3]
