Jimmy Gibb scored three goals in his seven appearances for the Northern Ireland amateur team between 1935-38. Two of his goals came in the 5-1 thrashing of England at the Solitude Ground, Cliftonville - Jimmy’s home ground - in 1937. He also won one senior cap, and scored a goal in the 3-2 over Wales in 1936. The great Irish goalkeeper Elisha Scott made his 31st and final international appearance in the same match. Jimmy was then selected for the 1936 Berlin Olympics but never played in either of Britain’s two matches. He spent three season playing with Cliftonville in the Irish League before moving to Linfield in the 1937-38 season.
