James Liddell (born 1897)[1][2] was a Scottish footballer who played for Albion Rovers, Dumbarton[3] and Clyde.[4][5]

He joined Liverpool in 1920 but failed to make any first team appearances in his year at Anfield, moving on to Bristol Rovers in 1921. In two and a half years in Bristol he made thirty league appearances, scoring either 4[2] or 5[1] goals. In January 1924 he moved to First Division side Preston North End, but as with his time in Liverpool, he didn't make any first team appearances for them.[2]
