Jackie Jameson was born John Jameson on 27 March 1957 in Cashel Avenue, Crumlin, Dublin. He was the youngest son of John Jameson, a CIÉ employee, and Margaret Jameson (née Stephens). As a teenager he developed tetanus after cutting his leg playing football, and only the prompt action of a doctor saved his life. His recovery necessitated keeping his leg in cotton wool for twelve months.[1]
