Jim Herriot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jim Herriot was a Scottish international goalkeeper who played for Hibernian and Dunfermline Athletic in Scotland and Birmingham City in England. He played 8 times for the Scottish national side.

Herriot is probably best-known today for giving his name to the writer James Herriot, a Yorkshire vet whose real name was Alf Wight. Wight needed a pen-name to comply with professional rules banning advertising and chose Jim Herriot's name after seeing him play exceptionally well for Birmingham City in a televised match against Manchester United.
