James Brymer Crumley (17 July 1890 – 1981), also known as Jamie,〔 Jim〔 or Jimmy Crumley, was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. A native of Dundee, Crumley began his football career with Junior club Harp, from where he moved into the senior ranks, spending the 1911–12 Scottish League season with Dundee Hibernian. He played in America for two seasons, then returned to Scotland where he kept goal for Central League team Arbroath before serving with the Royal Engineers during the First World War. He resumed his football career with a brief return to Dundee Hibs, then moved south of the border to play for Swansea Town, initially in the Southern League and then for three seasons in the English Football League. This was followed by a year with Bristol City, two seasons with Darlington, whom he helped gain promotion to the Second Division, and three years with Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic where he finished his career. ==Personal life== Crumley was born in Dundee in 1890,〔 the son of William Ferguson Crumley, a tinsmith. His older brother, Bob Crumley, also played professionally as a goalkeeper, and was in the Dundee team that won the 1910 Scottish Cup Final, defeating Clyde after two replays.〔 The passenger list when he sailed for America in 1912 listed his occupation as that of blacksmith. During the First World War, Crumley joined the Royal Engineers. By mid-1915, he was a section corporal stationed near Dundee, and he went to reach the rank of sergeant and served in France. He was twice mentioned in despatches, and was wounded and affected by shell shock. He married Eva Caroline Camamile at All Saints' Church, Winthorpe, Nottinghamshire, in 1921.〔 In 1932, while working as traffic manager for a lorry firm, Crumley suffered head injuries when the lorry he was travelling in struck a stationary vehicle; his two colleagues were killed. At the time, he was living in the Kensington district of London.〔 His death at the age of 90 was registered in the second quarter of 1981 in the Merton registration district, which covers the London Borough of Merton.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Merton registration district )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Crumley (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
