James John Stewart Imlach (born January 6, 1932 in Lossiemouth , † October 7, 2001 ) was a Scottish football player and coach . His greatest success as a club player was winning the FA Cup in 1959 with Nottingham Forest , as a Scottish national player, his greatest success was participating in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden , in which he played two of his four international matches. The official recognition of Imlach's four international matches, through the posthumous awarding of the caps , did not take place until 2006 by the Scottish Football Association, as previously only appearances at the British Home Championship were awarded for national players until 1975 . Imlach's greatest strength was his speed. After his active career as a football player Imlach worked in the coaching staff of the clubs Nottingham Forest, the Everton FC , the FC Blackpool and FC Bury. When he worked as a first team coach for Everton FC, he became champions of the English first division in the 1969/70 season .
In 2009, Imlach Way , a street in a new development in the city, was named after him in Lossiemouth . Stewart Imlach gained particular prominence posthumously when one of his sons, Gary Imlach , published the book My Father and Other Working-Class Football Heroes , which was named William Hill Sports Book of the Year in 2005.
