James Stothert (7 April 1870 – after 1895) was an English footballer who played in The Football League for Blackburn Rovers, Lincoln City and Notts County.[2]
1888-1889
When key Rovers player Harry Fecitt was unavailable to play in the home match against Bolton Wanderer's on 08-Dec-1888, Rovers decided to draft in Bohemians (Blackburn) player James Stothert at Inside-Left. According to Cricket and Football Field James Stothert was not on the pitch when the match started. In fact, Rovers led Wanderer's 2-0 when he came onto the pitch. Stothert appeared to have a negative impact on the Rovers team as within minutes of coming on Wanderer's made it 1-2. At half-time it was 2-2. Stothert' negative impact continued into the 2nd half. He missed an open goal much to the displeasure of the Rovers crowd. Then Wanderer's made it 4-2. Stothert redeemed himself by scoring to bring Rovers' back to 3-4. Rover's snatched a point with a 4th goal right at the end of the match.[3]
