William Ralph Dean (22 January 1907 – 1 March 1980), popularly

James Charles "Jamie" Mackie (born 22 September 1985, in Dorking) is an English professional footballer who currently plays in the Football League Championship for Plymouth Argyle as a striker.

He began his professional career as a 17-year old in 2003 with Wimbledon, a club now known as Milton Keynes Dons. He joined Exeter City in 2005, spending time on loan at Sutton United before establishing himself as a first-team regular. His form attracted interest from other clubs and he joined Plymouth Argyle in January 2008.

He is eligible to represent both Scotland and Switzerland at international level courtesy of his grandparents.

Playing career

Mackie began his career at non-league Leatherhead, joining Wimbledon as a trainee in 2003, before moving to Exeter City in August 2005. Following a brief spell on-loan at Sutton United in his first season,[1] Mackie went on to become an established first-team player scoring more than 20 goals in all competitions, from nearly 100 appearances, thus alerting other clubs of his potential.

After handing in a transfer request, Mackie signed for Plymouth Argyle, after the club beat off competition from Bristol City, Norwich City, Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham Town, for an initial fee of £125,000.[2] In his very first appearance for Plymouth Argyle on 12 February 2008, coming on as a substitute against Barnsley, Mackie scored within eleven seconds of his arrival on the pitch, thus breaking the record held by Tony Witter for the fastest goal scored for Plymouth Argyle on a debut.[3] He would go on to score a second in that game to cap a memorable first appearance for the Pilgrims.

Mackie firmly established himself as a first-team player during the 2008–09 season, making 45 appearances in all competitions, with the highlight being an explosive 25-yard strike against Reading at Home Park.[4] Having started life with the Pilgrims primarily as an impact substitute, Mackie is now a regular name in the club's starting line-up.
