James "Jimmy" Moore (1 September 1891 – December 1972) was an English professional footballer, who played as a forward for various clubs, including Barnsley, either side of the First World War. He was on the Barnsley club that won the FA Cup in 1912.
Moore was born at Felling, Tyne and Wear and was trained as a carpenter. He played his early football at local level, with Boldon Colliery Welfare and Jarrow Croft.
He joined Barnsley in August 1911, shortly before his twentieth birthday, and was brought into the first team to replace the injured Bert Leavey in the third replay of the Fourth Round FA Cup match against Bradford City on 21 March 1912. He retained his place for the 1912 FA Cup Final which Barnsley won 1–0 in extra time in a replay after the first game ended goalless. He had a good shot saved in the first match but the Manchester Guardian felt he didn't get enough passes in the replay and did not have much impact on the game.
During World War I, he was employed at the Saunders boat-yard in Cowes on the Isle of Wight where he was engaged on the construction of aeroplanes. During the war he guested for Southampton, playing in 24 matches (scoring 22 goals) between 1916 and 1919. After the cessation of hostilities, he was persuaded to sign for the "Saints" on a permanent basis in May 1919, in readiness for the first post-war season.
He made his Southern League debut in the opening match of the 1919–20 season, when he scored in a 1–1 draw at home to Exeter City. Moore soon became a fixture at inside left, playing between Fred Foxall on the wing and Bill Rawlings in the centre, and missed only one match during the season, in which the Saints finished in eighth place.
