James Maxwell McQueen (16 January 1915 – 22 February 1972) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Family

[edit]

The son of Hugh McQueen (1867–1948) and Minnie Agnes McQueen (1876–1950), née Rae, James Maxwell McQueen was born at Rochester on 16 January 1915.

Football

[edit]

McQueen first trained with Hawthorn before the 1937 season, being identified as a follower from Kyabram who may provide support to Bert Mills and Bill Ford.[2] He played well in practice matches[3] and earned a place in Hawthorn's Round 1 team that defeated North Melbourne by two points, but his performance was described as "not inspiring".[4] He was dropped to the reserves and shortly afterwards returned to Kyabram.[5]
