Herbert Edward 'Jim' Hammond was an English professional football (soccer) player for Fulham and a cricket player for Sussex.

Having been signed from non-league side Lewes F.C., Hammond played for Fulham between 1928 and 1938, scoring 150 goals in 342 games. He was once called up for duty with the national team, although never played. When he eventually retired, it was forced on him by injury. His nickname was "the galloping hairpin".[1]

He meanwhile had a batting average of 18.73 (4,251 runs) and a bowling average of 28.71 (428 wickets), and became an umpire in his retirement.
