James Hodge Speedie (17 November 1893 – 25 September 1915) was a Scottish footballer who played for Hearts.
He was born in Edinburgh and joined Hearts from Tranent.[1] In 1914, he played ten matches on loan at St Mirren between February and May, scoring three goals.[2] He returned to Hearts for the start of the following season and made nine appearances, scoring five goals.[1]
On 14 November 1914, the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders made an urgent appeal for volunteers at half time in match at Tynecastle against Falkirk. The initial response was disappointing, but at full-time several men stepped forward, including Speedie.[3] He was killed at the Battle of Loos on 25 September 1915.[1]
