James Higgins (1874 – after 1899) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[2] Born in Cradley Heath, Staffordshire, Higgins played local football for Stourbridge before joining Small Heath in 1897.[1] A centre forward, he made his debut in the Second Division on 2 April 1898 in a 2–1 win at Luton Town. He kept his place for the remaining five games of the 1897–98 season, and scored three goals,[3] but when the club signed Bob McRoberts he decided his future lay back in non-league football.[1]
