James Ellison (17 March 1901 – 5 January 1958) [1] was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs, including Southampton and Rochdale, in the 1920s. [2]
Ellison was born in St Helens, Lancashire [1] and played his early football as an amateur with St Helens YMCA, Tranmere Rovers, Rotherham County and Rhyl United [1] before he moved to the south coast to join Southampton in May 1927. [3]
After a satisfactory trial period, Ellison signed a professional contract in October 1927. [3] He spent most of his time with the Saints in the reserves, making 59 appearances in his year at The Dell. [3] His only first-team appearance came on 10 March 1928, when he took the place of Arthur Bradford at right-back for the game against Port Vale; the match was lost 2–1. [4]
In the summer of 1928, Ellison returned to Lancashire to join Rochdale for whom he made 16 appearances in the Football League Third Division North, [2] before winding up his career back in Wales with Connah's Quay. [3]
After retiring from football, he returned to St Helens, where he worked for Forster's Glass Company, playing occasionally for the works team. [1]
