James Baillie (8 June 1902 â date of death unknown) was a Scottish professional footballer.
Born in Hamilton, Baillie played for local youth side Wishaw before joining Derry Celtic. In 1926, he joined Football League First Division side Cardiff City. However, with several established players such as Fred Keenor and Harry Wake in the side, Baillie struggled to break into the first team. He made his professional debut on 25 September 1926 in a 2âÂÂ0 defeat to Manchester United but made only three further appearances during the 1926âÂÂ27 season. The following year, he made just one appearance during a 5âÂÂ1 defeat to West Ham United, his last appearance for the first team.
He joined Fulham in 1930 before returning to Scotland a year later and signing for Dundee United. He made his debut for the club in a 2âÂÂ2 draw with Falkirk on 7 November 1931, making four further appearances for the club before being released in 1932.
