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 his other Scottish Football League employers between his two main Fir Park spells being Celtic (his time there including a short loan back to Motherwell), Hamilton Academical[3] and Morton. 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]
