James "Jimmy" Allen (born August 18, 1913 in Amble , † 4th quarter 1979 in Hammersmith , London ) was an English football player .

Career

Allen played as the right wing runner for Stakeford Albion in the second division of the North Eastern League before he was signed by Huddersfield Town in March 1934 . There he was mainly used for the reserve team and was nominated in April 1935 together with his teammate Bill Hayes for a selection team of the Yorkshire Football League against the Northern Football League . For his only use in the first division team from Huddersfield Allen came in January 1935 in a 3: 4 home defeat to Preston North End , because the regular right runner Ken Willingham had tonsillitis .

At the end of April 1935, coach Billy Birrell Allen steered together with his teammate Frank Lumsdon to the Third Division South to the Queens Park Rangers . The team around center forward Tommy Cheetham (36 goals in 35 league games) played for the championship for a long time, after only two wins in the last six match days, the team with the Allen- Bartlett - March runner-up ultimately came in fourth. In the following season, Allen lost his regular seat in October and left the club after a total of 47 appearances at the end of the season. He joined the league rivals Clapton Orient within London , where he did not get beyond the role as a supplementary player during the season; usually Hugh Hearty or Eddie Lawrence were preferred. At the end of the season he left the club after nine competitive appearances and continued his career in non-league football .
