James Duncan Bowie, also known as Jimmy Bowie (9 August 1924 – 2000)[1] was a Scottish association footballer. He played as an inside forward in Scottish Junior Football, and later in the English Football League.

Career

Born in Kintore, Aberdeenshire, Bowie started playing adult football during the Second World War. He joined Chelsea as a professional in July 1944, despite the fact that the Football League was to remain suspended for a further two seasons. After seven years at the club, in which he made a total of 84 appearances, scoring 22 goals,[2] Bowie had short spells at Fulham and Brentford, before joining Watford in July 1952.

He played 131 games for Watford—125 in the league, 5 in the FA Cup and one in the Southern Floodlit Cup—before being sold to Bedford Town for £500 at the end of 1955.[3] Other than a brief second spell at Fulham, Bowie finished his career in English non-league football.[3][4] He died in 2000.[5]
