Hunter Hart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hunter Hart (born 11 March 1897, date of death unknown) was a footballer who played for Everton in the Football League for most of the 1920s. He was born in Glasgow and played mainly as a wing half.[1]

He started as a left-half but switched to the centre of defence before the end of his career.[2] He was transferred from Airdrieonians for £4000 in 1922.[2] Hart was made captain for a while[3] and helped the club to avoid relegation, and later was part of the Everton team that won the 1927-28 league championship. He retired just after Christmas during the 1929-30 season, when Everton were ultimately relegated.[2]

In total he made 300 senior appearances for Everton (scoring on 5 occasions).[3]
