James Howie, known as "Gentleman Jim," was born on March 19, 1880, in Galston, East Ayrshire, Scotland. After developing at Galston Athletic, he joined Newcastle United in 1903, becoming a crucial part of the side that won three First Division titles (1905, 1907, 1909) and captured the FA Cup in 1910, with additional finals in 1905, 1906, and 1908. At St James’ Park, Howie made over 200 appearances and scored more than 70 goals. He also represented Scotland three times between 1905 and 1908, scoring twice—both in a victory over England—and ending his international run with a goal ratio of two chances converted in three outings.

Howie’s playing style was distinguished by his exceptional dribbling, which set him apart in an era when ball skills were less prioritized than physicality. Besides, his mobility, middle shooting and ability to use either foot made him a formidable threat just behind the striker, combining creativity with score-making. His on-field connection with Jock Rutherford became the stuff of legend, their interplay and movement creating chances and destabilizing opponents.
