Harold James Jarman (born 4 May 1939)[2] is an English former professional footballer and first-class cricketer. He spent the majority of his lengthy footballing career with Bristol Rovers, where he is the club's third-highest goalscorer of all time and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in April 2021.[3]

He also had a single season with each of Newport County and New York Cosmos, as well as representing several non-league football clubs, including Bristol St George, Chippenham United, Mangotsfield United, and Portway Bristol where he was player-manager.

After ending his playing career he remained in football, most notably as manager of Bristol Rovers, Bath City and Mangotsfield United. He also held a number of coaching and scouting positions, including roles at Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City.

While he is primarily known as a footballer, he also played professional cricket in the summers throughout the 1960s, up until 1971, for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, representing the county at both first-class and List A levels.
