Timeline

1905

James Dunne (3 September 1905 – 14 November 1949) was an Irish footballer who played for, among others, Shamrock Rovers, Sheffield United, Arsenal and Southampton.

Dunne was also a dual internationalist and played for both Ireland teams: the FAI XI and the IFA XI.

Dunne was the first Irishman to figure prominently in the English League scoring records.

1925

Dunne joined New Brighton in November 1925 and made an instant impact, scoring six goals in eight league games.

1926

Dunne soon attracted the interest of First Division side Sheffield United who signed him in February 1926 for £800.

However, this marked the start of another apprenticeship in the reserves.

He made his first team debut in a 4–0 home win against Arsenal on 4 September 1926 but he struggled to hold a regular place and in his first three seasons played just eleven league games.

1927

His first goal came against Derby County on 15 October 1927.

Dunne had to wait three years before he became an established member of the United team and at one stage, they put him on the transfer list.

1929

It was not until the 1929–30 season that Dunne became a goalscoring sensation.

His first hat-trick against Leicester City in a 3–3 draw on 7 September 1929 was followed by successive four-goal hauls against West Ham United on New Year's Day (4–2) and Leicester City (7–1) three days later.

He scored another hat-trick against Blackburn Rovers on 3 March.

He finished the season as the club's top goalscorer with 36 goals in 39 games and his goals helped United avoid relegation on goal average.

Dunne was subsequently top goalscorer at United for four consecutive seasons between 1929 and 1933.

1930

In the 1930–31 season he scored 41 league goals for Sheffield United.

This became a club record and remains the most league goals scored by an Irishman during a single English League season.

Dunne also scored 30 or more First Division goals in three consecutive seasons between 1930 and 1933.

He excelled at either centre forward or inside forward and was outstanding with his head.

On 27 September 1930, he scored a hat-trick of headers against Portsmouth.

He was a fringe member of the great Arsenal side of the 1930s before spending a season at Southampton and then finishing his career at Shamrock Rovers.

This included scoring over 30 First Division goals in three consecutive seasons between 1930 and 1933.

His best season was 1930–31, when he scored 41 league goals plus a further nine in other competitions; his 41-goal haul remains the record tally in the English League by an Irishman.

Dunne's goalscoring form with Sheffield United soon attracted the interest of Arsenal.

1931

In the 1931–32 season, he scored in 12 consecutive matches, a record until Stan Mortensen scored in 15 for Blackpool in the 1950–51 season.

1932

In early 1932 they offered United £10,000 for Dunne but were turned down.

1933

However, in September 1933, after United hit financial trouble, they accepted a reduced fee of £8,250.

Dunne made his debut for Arsenal against Middlesbrough on 30 September 1933 in a 6–0 win and went on to score 9 goals in 23 league games during the 1933–34 season, helping Arsenal win the First Division title.

1934

However, the arrival of Ted Drake in the summer of 1934 saw Dunne lose his place in the Arsenal first team, and he would only play another 8 games over the next two seasons.

Dunne was dubbed "the most expensive reserve player in English football" in the press, although his Arsenal colleagues clearly recognised his talents, with Cliff Bastin remarking he was "one of the best five centre forwards I had ever seen".

1936

In July 1936 Dunne signed for Southampton where he was nicknamed "Snowy" by the fans because of his fair hair.

Described as "dangerous in the air (with) a short striding run which enabled him to retain his balance in quick moves near the goal", he was the Saints' leading scorer during the 1936–37 season, scoring 14 league goals in 36 games, helping Southampton to avoid relegation to the Third Division.

1949

Dunne died suddenly from a heart attack, at the age of 44, on 14 November 1949.

His two sons, Tommy and Jimmy, also played in the League of Ireland for St. Patrick's Athletic.

Tommy also played for Shamrock Rovers.

His nephew, another Tommy Dunne, also played for Rovers and another nephew Christy Doyle, played for Shelbourne and the Republic of Ireland.

Dunne initially played junior football.

However, his career was put on hold during the Irish Civil War when he was interned by the Irish Free State authorities for alleged Republican sympathies.

His brother, Christy, was an active Republican.

He subsequently joined Shamrock Rovers and played a number of games for the club's senior team.

A scout recommended him to New Brighton, then playing in the English Third Division North.
