James Tullis "Jimmy" Logie (born November 23, 1919 in Edinburgh , † April 30, 1984 in London ) was a Scottish football player and coach . The half-forward won the English championship with Arsenal in 1948 and 1953 and the FA Cup in 1950 .
Athletic career
Logie began playing football on the Lochore Welfare youth team . The small village club in Crosshill was known for its youth work and produced numerous well-known players such as Willie Johnston or Craig Levein later . In June 1939 he was hired by Arsenal FC in London. However, as World War II broke out a few months later and the English football league stopped playing, Logie's professional career came to a standstill for the time being. Instead, he served as a soldier in the Royal Navy and only appeared as a guest player for Southampton FC , Grimsby Town and Dunfermline Athletic against the ball.
After demobilization , he was finally able to show himself on the big stage. Logie made his debut at the age of 26 on August 31, 1946 against the Wolverhampton Wanderers . As a creative player in the halftone position, he has often been compared to his compatriot Alex James , who had won numerous titles in a similar position for Arsenal before World War II. In the following eight years Logie was a regular with the "Gunners". He played a major role in all the successes in the immediate post-war period, the two championships in 1948 and 1953, as well as winning the FA Cup in between . In the victorious cup final against Liverpool , he prepared both goals for a 2-0 victory. Later Logie was vice-captain behind Joe Mercer . Despite these successes, Logie remained largely unconsidered in the Scottish national team. He played on November 5, 1952 against Northern Ireland (1: 1) his only A international match for the "Bravehearts". For Arsenal he completed a total of 328 competitive games, scored 76 goals and left the club in February 1955 for a rumored £ 2,000 in the direction of Gravesend & Northfleet , which played in the Southern League .
Logie worked five years as a player- coach for Gravesend & Northfleet (52 years later renamed "Ebbsfleet United") and won the Southern League championship with the club in the 1957/58 season. The later life of the trained bricklayer was characterized by modesty, among other things he was a newspaper seller in Piccadilly Circus . He died at the end of April 1984 at the age of 64.
