Jimmy McKinnell (footballer)
James Templeton Broadfoot McKinnell was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a left half, mainly for Dumfries club Queen of the South, Blackburn Rovers and Darlington.
McKinnell moved from Queens to Rovers at the start of the 1920-21 season. McKinnell was one of three players from the Dumfries club, alongside Willie McCall and Tom Wylie to move to the English Football League around that time. These three transfers combined with Ian Dickson's move to Aston Villa helped fund the Doonhamers purchase of Palmerston Park.
McKinnell played in 111 league matches and 13 FA Cup games in six seasons for the Ewood Park club. McKinnell then signed for Darlington, where he played in 101 league matches and scored one goal in three seasons. McKinnell then signed for Nelson at the start of the 1929-30 season, where he played 10 league matches before retiring at the end of that season.
