Hi Sean, unfortunately that site is wrong. JJ Thomson's correct dates and biography are in Andy Mitchell's book 'First Elevens' which has details for all the players in the first international match of 1872. You can also read about him in his blog at http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-history-news-and-blog/an-unseen-photo-of-a-football-pioneer
