James Dykes (12 October 1916 – 1974) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half. Born in Law, South Lanarkshire, he played for Heart of Midlothian[3] and appeared twice for the Scotland national football team in 1938, also taking part in a SFA tour of North America the following summer. His senior career was effectively curtailed by the Second World War, during which he played for Hearts and made guest appearances for a variety of clubs in England and Northern Ireland, also being selected for four unofficial wartime internationals.[4] After ending his playing career in 1951, Dykes emigrated to Australia. His son Robbie became an Australian rules footballer.[5][6]
