Profile:
Another Aberdeen capture from Newcastle, with Wilf Low going the other way, Soye enjoyed six years at Pittodrie before the outbreak of the War effectively ended his Aberdeen career. Had seen previous experience with Celtic, Southampton and the Magpies, and went on to play a vital part in the free scoring Dons side of 1910-11. Capped at League level, Soye was renowned for scoring great goals from his right wing position.

In the 1940s Jimmy was working in Ireland.
