Jimmy Gourlay
James Gourlay (11 January 1888 – 12 September 1970)[1] was a Scottish footballer.
He played for Port Glasgow Athletic, and for Everton in England between 1909 and 1913 before joining Greenock Morton.[2] Aged 34, Gourlay scored (with a free kick) the only goal in Morton's 1–0 win over Rangers in the 1922 Scottish Cup Final[3] which is, to date, the club's only major trophy. He later had a short spell at Third Lanark and represented the Scottish League XI twice.[4]
His father James Gourlay played once for Scotland in 1888; they are related to the lawn bowls champions David Gourlay Sr. and David Gourlay Jr.[1]
