Jimmy BimsonOne of 7 brothers (of whom Ernie was also briefly on Southport Football Club's books) he only started playing football when serving in the First World War. After the war he played amateur football working down Blaguegate pit. He came to Southport on trial towards the end of 1922-23 and made his Reserve team debut at centre-half against Coppull, changing to left-half after the interval. At left-half he gave Southport tremendous service as a member of the strong half-back line of Sinclair, Little and Bimson which played together in 48 League games; he became the fourth player after Salty Halsall, Topping Sinclair and Billy Little to reach ioo League appearances before he left following a dispute over pay. He had the unusual distinction of dropping out of the Football League only to return on two occasions to play first with Wigan Borough and then ending his career with Rochdale. After the war he worked at Burscough Orndance Store. At Haig Avenue he played in a number of games in the same side as his cousin Jimmy Tootle (q.v.).
