James McConnell was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played for Padiham before joining Burnley in August 1886.[1] He played first competitive match for Burnley on 23 October 1886 in the 3–3 draw away at Astley Bridge in the first round of the FA Cup.[2] McConnell played four further FA Cup ties for Burnley, but by the time the Football League commenced in September 1888, he had been replaced by William Smith as the first-choice goalkeeper. He eventually made his league debut for the club on 11 January 1890 in the 1–3 loss to Stoke at Turf Moor.[3] McConnell left Burnley in the summer of 1890 and subsequently signed for Brierfield.[1]
