Jimmy Nicholl Profile

Jimmy Nicholl

Ja­mes Mi­chael Nich­oll, born Ontario, Canada, Dec­ember 28, 1956. Jim­my Nich­oll star­ted out his pro­fes­sion­al ca­reer as a ju­ni­or play­er at Man­chester Uni­ted and was han­ded his Foot­ball Lea­gue de­but by Tom­my Doc­herty in a 1-0 Sec­ond Di­vi­sion vic­tory over South­ampton at The Dell on the 5th of April 1975. The de­fender es­tab­lished him­self in the fir­st te­am the fol­low­ing sea­son and was a mem­ber of the young and tal­en­ted si­de which de­feated North West rivals Liver­pool 2-1 in the 1977 FA Cup Final.

Jim­my Nich­oll, apart from the ginger hair that made him no­tice­able in any case, stood out in every mat­ch that he played for Man­chester Uni­ted. An at­tack minded right full­back, Nich­oll went on to ac­cu­mu­late a re­spect­able total of 248 fir­st class ap­pear­ances for The Reds be­fore he would ev­entually wave good­bye to Old Traf­ford at the end of the 1981-82 cam­paign when he de­cided to try out his luck wi­th Ca­na­dian out­fit To­ronto Bliz­zard in the North Amer­ic­an Soc­cer Lea­gue. A North Bel­fast boy, he was giv­en his seni­or de­but for his na­tive North­ern Ire­land by Dave Cle­m­ents in a 1-1 friendly en­counter draw ag­ainst Is­rael at the Bloom­field Sta­dium in Tel Aviv on the 3rd of Mar­ch 1976, but the main high­light of his in­ter­na­tion­al foot­balling ca­reer came in the 1-0 Wor­ld Cup Group Sta­ge win ag­ainst host na­tion Spain at the Lu­is Cas­anova Sta­dium in Va­lencia on the 25th of June 1982.
