James Arthur Heale (16 September 1914 – 22 May 1997) was an English footballer who played for Bristol City, Manchester City.[2]

Career

Heale attended South Street School and played in an international trial for school boys. Other clubs interested when he was transferred to Manchester City F.C., were Arsenal, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Leeds United. Manchester City paid £3,500 for Heale in January 1934. The year of Heale's transfer was the year Manchester City won the FA Cup, but he was cup-tied, having played for Bristol City in the first round.[3]

Heale joined players such as Matt Busby and Frank Swift at Manchester City F.C. Problems with his knee the season that City won the League Championship, caused him to miss out on a medal. Some tipped Heale as a future England international. A serious leg injury finished his career in 1938/1939.[4]
