Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
James Joseph Nicholson was a Northern Irish footballer who played as a midfielder. He played most of his career at Huddersfield Town and earned 41 caps for the Northern Ireland national team. — Wikipedia
