Jimmy Stephen

Former Scotland football captain;

Born: August 23, 1922; Died: November 6, 2012.

JIMMY Stephen, who has died aged 90, was Scotland's oldest-surviving former football internationalist. Born in Johnshaven, Kincardineshire, he never played club football in Scotland, being taken almost straight from school to the ground staff at Bradford (Park Avenue) in 1938. By the time the Second World War broke out, he was challenging for a regular first team place and was one of that unfortunate generation who saw their career blighted by the war.
