Jimmy J. Moreton (22 September 1891 – August 1942) was a football player and manager.[3][4] He joined Tranmere Rovers from Cammell Laird in July 1910.[4] He was switched from right-half to outside right, where he set up countless goals for a succession of Tranmere centre forwards, including Dixie Dean, in almost 500 appearances at the club.[4]
Upon retirement, aged 37, Moreton became trainer alongside manager Bert Cooke,[4] before taking over as manager himself, from 1939, during World War II.[5][6] He died in 1942,[1] and was succeeded by another former player, Bill Ridding.[4]
