James "Jerry" Dawson (30 October 1909 – 19 January 1977) was a Scottish footballer who spent most of his career playing for Rangers.
Born in Falkirk, Dawson's position as a goalkeeper saw him nicknamed Jerry after the famous English custodian with whom he shared a surname.[cite book | last = Lamming | first = Douglas | title = A Scottish Soccer Internationalists Who’s Who, 1872-1986 | format = Hardback | publisher = Hutton Press | year = 1987 | id = (ISBN 0-907033-47-4) ] He began his career playing with local Junior side Camelon, before turning professional with Rangers in November 1929.]Dawson moved to home-town Falkirk F.C. in 1945 and retired at the end of the 1948-49 season. After a spell as a journalist with the "Daily Record", he moved into coaching when appointed East Fife's manager in July 1953.
Dawson's contribution to Scottish football has been recognised by former club Rangers and he was posthumously elected to their Hall of Fame.
Jerry was nicknamed "The Prince in the Yellow Jersey" because Rangers F.C. traditionally had a yellow Goalkeeper jersey
