James Hermiston (born 30 September 1947) is aScottish former professional footballer and police officer.
Hermiston began his career as a teenager with Bonnyrigg Rose, and was signed for Aberdeen by Eddie Turnbull in 1965.
It is possible that as a PC, his duties may have included policing matches at Aberdeen's ground, Pittodrie Stadium, but it is not clear whether he ever actually did so.
[3] Hermiston was a popular player in Australia, to the extent of having a children's coaching manual published under his name.
[5] After emigrating to Australia, Hermiston joined the Queensland Police, and served with that force until his retirement in 2003.
