Career highlights

Jim Grace (born September 21, 1868) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the early years of the VFL. His younger brother, Mick Grace, played beside him at Fitzroy.

Grace played as a full-forward and dominated Fitzroy's goalkicking during their time in the VFA, topping their year end tallies for six successive seasons from his debut in 1890. Two of those tallies, in 1890 and 1891, was enough to top the league's goalkicking for the year. He spent three seasons in the VFL, playing in Fitzroy's 1898 and 1899 premierships.
