James R. Moles (1884–17 November 1915)[1] was an English professional footballer who made 33 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham.[2] He played as a wing half.
Moles was born in Tottenham, London. He played football for Southern League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Leyton before joining Birmingham of the Football League Second Division in 1909 as cover for Frank Buckley.[3] He made his debut in a 2–2 home draw with Glossop on 13 September 1909, replacing Buckley at centre-half, and in the second half of the 1909–10 season played regularly in his preferred position of left-half.[4] His aggressive style cost him his place, and he returned to London football in 1911.[3]
