Thomas Hymers (29 April 1935 – May 1987) was an English footballer who played as a defender (association football) in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers.[1]

Career

Hymers was born in Thorne, which was then in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He worked in Frickley Colliery and also played for their football team.[1] He joined Doncaster Rovers in 1958 and played in 22 matches during the 1959–60 season and five matches in 1960–61 which included Doncaster's first match in the League Cup, a 3–1 victory over Stoke City.[1] Unfortunately for Hymers he scored an own goal, giving him the dubious honour of being Stoke's first goalscorer in the League Cup.[3]
