James Adam (13 May 1931 – 26 September 2008) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Aston Villa, Luton Town and Stoke City.
Career Born in Blantyre, Adam began his career with local youth club Blantyre Celtic before moving south to English club Aldershot in 1950. However, the young Adam was only able to make a single league appearance for the club during the 1950–51 season and then left and joined non-league Spennymoor United.
In 1953, Adam signed for Luton Town, where he made 138 appearances during a six-year spell in which he helped the club gain promotion to the First Division in 1954–55. By the time of Luton's relegation from the First Division in 1960, Adam had joined Aston Villa, where he spent two seasons before signing for Stoke City where he spent the 1961–62 season scoring seven goals in 24 appearances before returning to Scotland with Falkirk. He later emigrated to Australia, where he played for South Melbourne Hellas.
Death Adam died in Melbourne on 26 September 2008, at the age of 77.
