Jimmy Smith
| Date of birth | 20 January 1947 |
| Place of birth | Glasgow |
| Nationality | Scottish |
| Position | Midfielder |
Jinky Jimmy might not have rewarded his Gallowgate audience with medals and trophies but it was of little consequence as his tricks and chips enthralled the admiring crowd. Already capped by Scotland before he left Aberdeen, a series of knee problems brought a premature end to his magical performances.
