Nicknamed ‘Sunny Jim’ he normally played at right-half for the highly successful Celtic side of the early 1900s whom he joined from Bristol Rovers in 1903. His career yielded nine Scottish Championship medals and six Scottish Cup. Despite this level of influence on the field, Young won just a single Scotland international cap, although he did represent the Scottish League on six occasions.
His career ended through a knee injury in 1916 and tragically he was killed in a motorcycle accident in his native Ayrshire aged 40 on 4th September 1922. £800 - 1,200
