Jimmy Speirs scored once for Scotland at the international level and racked up a total of 92 career goals at club level with teams like Rangers, Clyde and Leeds City. He enlisted in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders at the start of World War I, despite being officially exempted for having two young children. He  won a Military Medal for bravery in May 1917, which earned him leave in Scotland during the summer of that year. He died in action the following year.

Whilst at Grand Rullecourt on 19 May 1917, the Battalion War Diary records the Corps Commander (Lt Col Norman MacLeod, DSO) having recommended the award of Military Medals to six men – the first on the list being "S/18170 Cpl J Spiers" [sic]. Just what deed Jimmy Speirs was responsible for, to earn this award for "bravery in the field", is not recorded.
