Born in Airdrie, Jackson lived in Cambuslang for most of his life[1] and played club football for Cambuslang, leading them to the 1888 Scottish Cup Final as captain, winning the Lanarkshire Cup and Glasgow Cup, and taking part in the inaugural season of the Scottish Football League in 1890.[2] He retired the following year and was granted a benefit match with Cambuslang taking on a Scottish League XI.[3]
His brother Jimmy (20 years younger), son Andy, and nephews James and Archie were also all footballers.[4][1]
