Billy Hughes (footballer, born 1865)
William Hughes 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. At the end of the 1892-93 season, however, Bootle resigned from the league. He subsequently joined Liverpool. An obituary described him as "one of the best centre half-backs that Bootle boasted".
After his playing career ended, he worked as a steward for the White Star Company. He died in a motorcycle accident in November 1919.
