James McCalliog (born 23 September 1946) is a Scottish former footballer, who played for Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United, Southampton and Lincoln City in the Football League and who also had spells with Chicago Sting and Lyn (Oslo).
He played for Southampton in their victorious 1976 FA Cup Final against his former employers Manchester United and made the pass that set up Bobby Stokes for the only goal. He also appeared in the 1966 FA Cup Final for Sheffield Wednesday in a 3–2 defeat by Everton, and scored one of the Owls' goals.
He also won five caps for Scotland and scored the third goal in Scotland's 3–2 win over World Cup winners England at Wembley in 1967.
McCalliog was selected to play for Glasgow Schools, before signing as an amateur with Leeds United in May 1963. However, he remained on the books of the Yorkshire club for just four months before joining Chelsea in September 1963.
He made his senior debut on his 18th birthday in a 3–0 League Cup win at Birmingham City, but managed just seven league appearances over a two-year stay. His only goals for Chelsea came on 21 November 1964, when he scored twice at Birmingham in a 6–1 victory. However, his potential was noted and, in October 1965, he transferred to Sheffield Wednesday for a then-record fee for a teenager of £37,500.
