Weight90 kg
Height1.83 m
PositionMidfielder

One of the main inspirations of Ipswich Town's successful return to the top flight, Jim used all his experience to set up numerous attacks with a string of delightful, precision passes.

His only Premiership goal came early in the 2000-01 season when he converted a second-half penalty at Leicester City but when he missed another spot kick in the Worthington Cup tie with Millwall he handed over penalty duties to Marcus Stewart.

One of his best performances came in the win at Liverpool, one of his previous clubs, when he provided some inspirational direction from the centre of the park.

Jim continued his international career with Northern Ireland and had the honour of captaining them.

Jim's contract at Ipswich Town was extended to June 2006 in July 2005.
