James Gibb Fotheringham (19 December 1933 â 16 September 1977) was a Scottish footballer, who played as a defender.
Fotheringham was a product of the Arsenal youth system and at 6'4" looked to be an imposing centre back. However, Fotheringham managed only a few runs in the first team and never really convinced before joining Heart of Midlothian for ã10,000 in 1959. He returned to England with Northampton Town the same year only to see his career ended early by a bad injury.
Whilst at Arsenal he also featured for the London XI that took part in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
