James Aiton Hunter, also known as James Semple (5 July 1898 – 1982) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back. [3] [4]
His first senior club at the end of World War I was Newcastle United, but before playing a first-team match he then signed for Motherwell while still registered as a Newcastle player; however it was decided that the transfer was acceptable with no fee due. [2] [5] Hunter soon moved on to Falkirk at the end of 1919, spending the next four years with the Bairns [3] and being selected twice for the Scottish Football League XI in 1923. [6] [4]
In January 1924 he returned to Newcastle for a free of £3,500 [5] with the club anticipating the need to replace defender Frank Hudspeth who was then 33, but the veteran played on for several more years. [2] Hunter served as back-up until 1925, with a high asking price deterring clubs in Britain; instead he moved away to play in the American Soccer League with New Bedford Whalers, [5] [4] [7] where he played until 1930.
