James Brien McIlroy (28 July 1939 – 1995)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left, primarily for Kilmarnock,[3] with whom he won the Scottish Football League in 1964–65; it was his goal in the decisive match against Heart of Midlothian which won Killie the championship on goal average.[4]
McIlroy is Kilmarnock's third-highest goalscorer of all time, and the annual club award for seasonal top scorer is named in his honour.[5]
