James B. Smith was a Scottish footballer who played for clubs including Dunfermline Athletic,[2] Heart of Midlothian[3] and Dundee United[4] as an outside right, though he began his career as a centre forward and in the last years of his career was used at inside left.[citation needed]

He made three appearances for the Scottish League XI (all in the annual fixture against the Irish League representative team), and played in a trial for the full Scotland team in 1924.[5]
