Hunter Hart

Hunter Hart (born 11 March 1897, date of death unknown) was a Scottish 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]
