James Stevenson

James Stevenson (31 December 1872 – 3 March 1925) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dumbarton (two spells), Preston North End (two spells), Bristol St George and West Bromwich Albion. For much of his career he played as a forward but in his later years operated at centre half.

He was selected for the annual Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match in 1903, but never played for Scotland at full international level.

Stevenson was from Dumbarton, where he was killed in 1925 in a boiler room accident at Denny's Shipbuilding Yard. He had eight children with his wife Jessie Jane, née Strachan; their sixth child was the civil servant Sir Matthew Stevenson.
