William Sanderson "Billy" Hume (18 December 1935 – 15 August 1990) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Scottish Football League for Dunfermline Athletic, St Mirren and Berwick Rangers, in the Football League, for Birmingham City,[2] and in the Irish Football League and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup for Glentoran.[3] He played as a wing half or inside forward.

Career

Hume was born in Armadale, West Lothian. He played for nearby Seafield United and Whitburn before joining Dunfermline Athletic in 1955,[4][5] for whom he made his Scottish League debut during the 1956–57 season.[6] He played four Division One games, scoring once, and the next season played five Division Two games, again scoring once, and one game in the Scottish League Cup.[7]

Despite interest from Rangers,[4] Hume then came to England and signed for Birmingham City of the Football League First Division in February 1958, making his first-team debut in a friendly against Valencia.[5] Unable to dislodge Dick Neal from the left-half position, Hume had to wait for his Football League debut until 18 March 1959, deputising for Neal in an away game against Leicester City which Birmingham won 4–2.[8] He played eight league games in the 1959–60 season, succeeding Bunny Larkin at inside left, but scored only twice,[9] and returned to Scotland in 1960.

Hume made a few appearances for St Mirren and for Berwick Rangers[2] before trying his luck in Ireland, first with Bangor and then Glentoran.[4] He scored for Glentoran in a Gold Cup final to earn himself a winners' medal,[4] and represented the club in their first modern foray into European competition, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup of 1962–63. Drawn to play Real Zaragoza, Glentoran lost the first leg 2–0, but took the lead in the away leg as Hume "swept [the ball] inside for Matt Doherty to volley it into the roof of the net", only to lose 6–2.[10][11]

Returning to Scotland once more, Hume was briefly on the books of Alloa Athletic before becoming a player-coach in junior football, firstly for three years at Armadale Thistle and then at Bathgate Thistle.[4]

Hume died in hospital in Livingston, West Lothian, in August 1990 at the age of 54.[4]
