Percy James Smith (1880 - 1959) was an English footballer and football manager, who played for Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers.

Playing career

He started his playing career with Hinckley Town before joining Preston in 1902. He quickly achieved success, helping Preston to the Second Division title in 1904, and to the runners-up position in the Football League in 1906.

After eight seasons at Preston, he moved to local rivals Blackburn Rovers in 1910, where he again achieved success claiming the League title in 1912 and again in 1914, as well as reaching the FA Cup Semi-finals in 1911 and 1912.

After World War I, he finished his playing career with brief spells at Fleetwood and Barrow.

Management career

After retiring from playing, Smith managed Nelson, Bury, Tottenham Hotspur, Notts County and Bristol Rovers.

At Spurs he achieved modest success, guiding the team to the runners-up position in Division Two in 1933 and to third place in the First Division in 1934, only to be relegated back to Division Two in the following season.
