William Hughes (1865 – 14 November 1919) was a Welsh international footballer. He was part of the Wales national football team between 1891 and 1892, playing 3 matches. He played his first match on 7 March 1891 against England and his last match on 26 March 1892 against Scotland. He played his club football for Bootle, where he was an ever-present in the club's first season in the Football League, making 22 appearances.[1][2] At the end of the 1892–93 season, however, Bootle resigned from the league. He subsequently joined Liverpool.[3] An obituary described him as "one of the best centre half-backs that Bootle boasted".[4]
