James Logan (footballer, born 1870)

He came to the attention of Sunderland that day and in 1891 signed for them, making two appearances as the club won the 1891–92 Football League championship.

they eliminated three clubs from the First Division to reach the final where they beat Bolton Wanderers 4–1, Logan scoring a hat-trick to seal the victory.

Rain fell heavily throughout the 90 minutes, and at the end of a 2–0 defeat, Loughborough's players had to return home still wearing the same clothes.

Logan caught a cold which he managed to shake off, but not long after scoring in a 4–1 victory in the final game of the season against Crewe Alexandra, he relapsed, developed pneumonia and died, aged 25.
