Trevor Hebberd (born Winchester, 19 June 1958) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder.
He signed for Southampton on leaving school in 1974 and made his first team debut two years later. He remained at Southampton until 1982, when he was sold to Oxford United. During his final season at Southampton, he had loan spells with Bolton Wanderers and Leicester City.
Hebberd was a key player in Oxford's Third Division title triumph in 1984 and their Second Division championship glory the following year. In 1986 he achieved the finest moment of his career by helping Oxford win the League Cup at Wembley.
When Oxford were relegated from the First Division in 1988, Hebberd was sold to Derby County and in his first season he helped them finish fifth in the league. But, like Oxford's League Cup triumph three years earlier, the ban on English clubs in European competition meant that Hebberd was unable to experience the UEFA Cup.
In the autumn of 1991, Hebberd spent a month on loan at Portsmouth before leaving the Baseball Ground for good and being snapped up by Fourth Division underdogs Chesterfield. He spent three years at Saltergate before signing for Lincoln City.
Hebberd retired from professional football in 1995 after playing one season at Sincil Bank.
