James Kidd was a footballer who played in the Football League as a goalkeeper for Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers and Derby County.
Kidd was born in Darlington, County Durham. He played for Northern League club Darlington and spent four years with Spennymoor United (two in the Northern League, two in the North-Eastern) before joining Football League Second Division club Blackpool in July 2010.
Kidd made his debut for Blackpool late in the 1910-11 season, in a goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion at Bloomfield Road on 8 April. He took over from William Fiske, who up until that point had been present for 72 consecutive League games, for the four remaining games of the season that followed.
Fiske returned to the team for the first 23 League games of the 1911-12 campaign. Hoad took over for another goalless draw, this time at Bradford City on 6 February. He also played in the five games that followed, four of which were losses.
Kidd (16 League appearances) and Fiske (22) shared the goalkeeping role in 1912-13, before the latter made it his own again in 1913-14.
