James "Jimmy" Adam (born 13 May 1931) is a Scottish former professional footballer.

[edit] Career

Born in Blantyre, Adam began his career with local youth club Blantyre Celtic before moving south to English club Aldershot in 1950. However, the young Adam was unable to make a league appearance for the club during the 1950–51 season and began a wonder that took him to first Spennymoor United, then Berwick Rangers, and finally Hibernian. In 1953, Adam signed for Luton Town, where he made 140 appearances during a six-year spell. On Luton's relegation from the First Division in 1959, Adam joined Aston Villa, where he spent two seasons before signing for Stoke City where he spent only one season before returning to Scotland with Falkirk. He later emigrated to Australia, where he played for South Melbourne Hellas.^[1]
