Biography

Jimmy Gallagher played for Ryerson Juniors, but his career is not well documented. All we know is of his short time in 1928 with the US national team. He earned two caps, one in the 1928 Olympic match against Argentina, and after the Olympics, in a friendly against Poland, which ended in a 3-3 tie. Gallagher was a New Jersey native, born in Newark, but oddly, although we know he died in Jersey, his precise date of death has not been found.
