James Smart (skater)

James Smart (1865–1928) was the youngest brother of George 'Fish' Smart and Jarman Smart. Unlike his brother Fish and uncle Turkey, he always skated under his real name; attempts to call him 'Eagle' to distinguish him from his cousin James Turkey Smart did not stick. He won the professional title of Great Britain in 1890, 1895 and 1900 and the Littleport Cup in 1892. He also won a world championship and a Dutch championship. He was sponsored allowing him to train. Having spent some time training in Norway, he set up an agency to sell Norwegian skates in Britain.
