Autographs of Leighton James
Leighton James (16 February 1953 – 19 April 2024) was a Welsh professional footballer who played as a winger. He played almost 400 times for Burnley F.C. in three different spells at the club, being tenth on the club's most appearance list. He was widely regarded as one of Swansea City's finest ever players and his goal for Swansea against Preston North End in the final game of the season in 1981 helped Swansea get promoted to the Football League First Division for the first time in their history. In 1977, he scored a penalty for Wales in a 1–0 win against England, their only victory against England at Wembley. John Toshack described him as "one of the finest wingers that British football has ever produced and we were very very lucky at the fact he was a Welshman".
James started his career as a left winger with Burnley, making his Football League debut in November 1970 against Nottingham Forest.
In 1975, he signed for Derby County for a club-record fee of £300,000, and in 1977 joined Queens Park Rangers in exchange for Don Masson. He made his debut against West Bromwich Albion in October 1977, and went on to play 33 games, scoring six goals.\nIn 1978, he returned to play with Burnley, but left in 1980 when they were relegated to the Third Division.
