James "Jimmy" Dunn (born 25 November 1923 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former footballer, who spent the majority of his league career with Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is the son of the Scottish international footballer James Dunn.
Career
Dunn, raised in Liverpool, joined Wolves as an apprentice in 1941, signing professionally the following year. The start of his official league career was delayed due to World War II - though he made 100 unofficial wartime appearances - and the 1946/47 season found him limited to just three appearances.
He broke through in the following campaign and was also a regular player in the next season, which saw him win the 1949 FA Cup. A back injury sidelined him for most of the 1949/50 season, but he recovered to feature strongly during the next two years. He eventually left Molineux to join Derby County in 1953 for £15,000.
After suffering relegation to the third tier with Derby in 1955, he dropped into the non-league with Worcester City, and later also played for Runcorn.
Upon retiring from the game, he ran a pub in Penn, West Midlands before qualifying as a physiotherapist. In this role, he became a trainer at West Bromwich Albion in 1963 and was on the bench at the 1967 League Cup and 1968 FA Cup finals. After leaving the club, he ran his own clinic in Edgbaston, a gym in Birmingham and also worked as a 'rep' in Dudley.
