Hugh McNeil (1878 – 10 January 1960) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half, with his longest spell being ten years with Motherwell.[1][2] He had already spent a season with the club earlier in his career after graduating from the junior level, with Celtic (his time there including another loan back to Motherwell), Hamilton Academical[3] and Morton his other Scottish Football League employers between his two main Fir Park spells. He survived a serious motorcycle crach in 1913, later going on to play for Wishaw Thistle and Royal Albert.[3]
His son of the same name was also a footballer who too played for Motherwell and Hamilton in the same position.[4][1][5]
