John James (footballer)

John James (born 18 January 1934) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.

Recruited from St. Patrick's College, Ballarat, James played for the Carlton Football Club from 1953 to 1963, playing 195 games. He finished 2nd in the 1957 Brownlow Medal count and won the award in 1961. He won the Carlton Best & Fairest three times (in 1955, 1960 & 1961). James was named on the half-back flank in the Carlton Team of the Century.

In his debut season, James played off a half-forward flank and booted the terribly inaccurate figures of 8 goals, 43 behinds. Throughout his career he played in a variety of positions, including the backline.

After his retirement in 1963 he went to coach Robinvale.
