Henry Hill

Henry Hill was a right full back who played at Fulham from 1963 until 1968. Signing as a youth team player, he failed to make a first team appearance.

Before Fulham
Henry was born in Lambeth, London in 1947 and was spotted by Fulham at a young age.

Fulham (1963-1968)
Henry signed youth papers for Fulham shortly before he turned 16 and made his first appearances for the youth team during the 1963-64 season.

He was an unused substitute during a 5-2 defeat at home to Burnley on 11 December 1965, but failed to make a first team appearance during his time at the club.

He left the club in the summer of 1968.

After Fulham
Henry flew to Canada and played for Vancouver Royals for a brief spell before moving to the United States to play for San Diego Toros. During this time he became a midfielder rather than a defender where he had spent most of his time playing at Fulham.

In March 1969, he moved back to England and signed for Ipswich Town, where he spent two years at Portman Road though he did not make an appearance for their first team. After a brief spell in South Africa with Johannesburg Rangers, he signed for Gillingham in July 1971 and made his Football League debut away to Peterborough United on 25 Sept 1971 in the Fourth Division.

After only managing one more League appearance and two Cup appearances for the Gills, Henry moevd back to South Africa, this time turning out for Jewish Guild, before stints at Margate and Dartford. He was returned to Gillingham who still held his registration after a nagging ankle injury.

Over the next few years, Henry would divide his time between playing in South Africa and playing for Isthmian League club Molesey. He later made a one-off appearance for Hereford United in the Fourth Division in 1978.

During 1982, he was appointed as player-coach for Highlands Park in South Africa, and he went on to become manager of his former club Johannesburg Rangers. He would later also manage Molesey at the start of the 1986-87 season.

In 2004, he was believed to have been living in South Africa.
