Jim Herriot
Date of Birth: 20-12-1939
Position: Goalkeeper
Joined: 08-10-1960
Appearances: 151
Substitute Appearances: 0
Goals: 47*
Nationality: Scotland
Previous Clubs: Douglasdale Juniors
Subsequent Clubs: Birmingham City, Hibernian, St Mirren, Morton
Born: 20.12.1939 Chapelhall (Scotland)
Debut: 08.10.1960 v Ayr United (SL1)
Last Game: 17.04.1976 v Airdrieonians (Spring Cup)
Signed in October 1958 from Douglasdale Juniors by the then manager Andy Dickson. Played 136 games for the Pars including 12 European ties, before he was transferred in May 1965 to Birmingham City for £18,000.
Jim played in the first three rounds of the 1961 cup run, before losing his place to Eddie Connachan in the Quarter Final. Initially he shared the Number One jersey with Eddie Connachan, but when Connachan moved to Middlesborough in August 1963, Jim made the position his own.
Herriot had his debut in October 1960 and took over as the first choice keeper at the start of 1962/63, playing in the memorable European ties against Everton and Valencia before a broken thumb kept him out. He was a key member of the team that came close to landing an unbelievable League and Cup double in 1964/65, playing in all but one of the fifty-five matches that season, including the Scottish Cup Final defeat by Celtic.
His final game for the Pars came four days after the final, when some revenge for the defeat was exacted, and Dunfermline hammered Celtic 5-1.
His performances between the sticks earned him two Scottish League caps, against the League of Ireland and the Irish League.
After seven years with the Pars, Jim joined Birmingham City in 1965 for a fee of £18,000. With the Blues he earned eight Scotland caps to go with the two Scottish League appearances he made while with Dunfermline. He later spent time with Hibernian and St Mirren
He briefly returned to East End Park on loan from Partick Thistle in March/April 1976, to play in all 8 of the Pars Spring Cup ties.
His name was famously copied by the author of the same name.
