James Taylor (13 May 1934 – April 2017) was an English professional footballer.
Life and career
Born in Strood, he began his career on the books of Charlton Athletic but made no appearances for them before a move to Gillingham. He made 30 Football League appearances for the Kent club, finishing as top scorer in the 1955–56 season, but made only one appearance the following season and then moved on to Watford. He left Watford without ever making a first-team appearance and there is no record of him playing for any other club at a professional level.
Taylor died in Kent in April 2017, at the age of 82.
