About Jimmy McIntosh

Lived 1918 – 2000. Jimmy McIntosh was a British association football player and association football coach.

Blackpool (first spell) McIntosh began his professional career with Joe Smith's Blackpool in 1935. At 17 years 169 days he became the then youngest player to appear in Blackpool's first team when he made his debut on 21 September 1935, in a single-goal defeat at Swansea Town. He made only three more appearances in the 1935–36 campaign; indeed, he wasn't selected again until the opening game of the 1936–37 season. McIntosh returned to Blackpool, who were still under the management of Joe Smith. He appeared in the first 26 and final two games of the 1946–47 league season, scoring five goals in the process (including one in a 3–2 victory over that season's eventual champions, Liverpool, at Bloomfield Road on 30 November 1946).

After scoring five goals in the five ties (Tottenham were defeated 3–1 in the semi with Stan Mortensen netting all three) that led to the 1948 FA Cup final, McIntosh missed the 4–2 final defeat (after being ahead 2–1 at half time) against Manchester United. The following Monday the two sides played each other again, this time in a rearranged League fixture. Blackpool recalled McIntosh and won 1–0 courtesy of another Mortensen goal. The following Saturday, on League business, McIntosh scored five goals in a 7–0 whitewash of his former club Preston at Deepdale in the final game of the season. He had become the first Blackpool player to score five goals in one match. Another of McIntosh's goals was on 28 April 1949 when he scored in the 2–0 home win v Manchester United.

Distillery McIntosh continued his career in Northern Ireland with then Belfast based Distillery as player/manager
