The eighth of ten children born to George Henry Logan (1869–1938)[2] and Emma Harriet Logan (1877–1946), née Fisher,[3] James Henry Benjamin Logan was born in Clifton Hill, Victoria on 12 April 1911.[4]
His older brother, Albert Clarence Hill "Dick" Logan was also a VFL footballer with Hawthorn.
Originally from Surrey Hills, Jim Logan was granted a permit to play for Hawthorn during the 1942 VFL season.[5] Logan played a single VFL game, lining up in the forward pocket in Hawthorn's loss to Melbourne on 30 May 1942.[6] The next week he was listed as injured[7] and although he remained on the training list through until 1943[8] he never managed another senior game.
Aged 33, Logan enlisted to serve in the RAAF in early 1945, and served for 13 months.[9]
