Jim Cameron joined
Dundee United in October 1966 from
Ashfield, having turned down contract offers from
Leicester City and
Stirling Albion, and was one of three players from the Glasgow-based
junior club signed by United manager
Jerry Kerr around that time. After performing well in the reserve team, he made his first team debut in the
Scottish Football League in April 1967, in a 2–2 draw against
Partick Thistle at
Tannadice Park. The following month Dundee United travelled to the United States, to represent the
Dallas Tornado franchise in the new
United Soccer Association (USA) league. With regular
left back Jimmy Briggs initially left out due to a contract dispute, Cameron was included in the squad and featured regularly on the tour, playing in ten of the twelve USA matches. Returning to Scotland, Cameron began the
1967–68 season in the reserves until Briggs suffered a broken leg in February 1968. By the beginning of the
1972–73 season, Kopel had replaced Cameron as first choice in the position. Cameron was transfer listed in October 1972 but didn't leave the club until September 1973 when he was transferred to
Falkirk for a £7000 fee. and also had spells with
Montrose and
Forfar Athletic before emigrating to Australia in 1981. ==Notes==
