Jimmy Humes (born 6 August 1942 in Carlisle) is a former English professional footballer who played as a winger. He played in The Football League for four clubs.

Playing career

Humes began his career with Preston North End, making his debut aged 17 in a Division One match against Nottingham Forest.[1] After a spell with Bristol Rovers, Humes joined Chester in July 1963.

He spent four years at Chester, with the most memorable season being 1964–65. Along with team-mates Mike Metcalf, Elfed Morris, Hugh Ryden and Gary Talbot, Humes managed to score 20 first-team goals. This included a diving header to give Chester the lead at Manchester United in the FA Cup,[2] although United recovered to win 2–1.
