Obituary |
"Once 'Idol' at Roker—Death
of 'Billy' Hogg.
"ONE of the finest outside rights to play for England, and once the
'idol' of Roker Park and Ibrox Park supporters. Mr William Hogg died in
Monkwearmouth and Southwick Hospital this morning after a fortnight's
illness. Mr Hogg, who was 57, was admitted to hospital on January 19 and
on Tuesday of this week underwent an operation which was apparently
successful. This morning, however, he collapsed and died with tragic
suddenness.
"Though a native of Sunderland he started his football
career with Willington Athletic, but speedily showed such good form that
he was signed by Sunderland club in 1899 when aged 19. In a forward line,
'Billy' Hogg was outstanding. He played a great part in Sunderland's
League Championship victory in 1901-02 season. He was capped in that
season at outside right for England against Scotland, Ireland, and Wales,
and played centre forward for the England League against the Scottish
League. After ten seasons with Sunderland, he was transferred to Glasgow
Rangers. He speedily became as great a favourite as he had been at Roker
Park. In Scotland he won every honour of the game for which he was
eligible—except a Scottish Cup medal, just as an English Cup medal
had evaded him when with Sunderland. After three seasons with the Rangers,
he was transferred to Dundee whom he served in the 1912-13 and 1913-14
seasons. Arrangements had completed for him to take over the post of
player-manager of Raith Rovers Club, when the War broke out, and he
returned to the North-East to work in the engineering works of R. and W.
Hawthorn Leslie & Co., Ltd., at St. Peter's, Newcastle, where he had
served his time as an engineer.
"After the war, he started business as
a licensed victualler at Earsdon and West Stanley before he took over the
management of the Fountain Head Hotel, Frederick Road, Sunderland. In
1927, he took over the post of coach to Sunderland A.F.C., which he held
for 6½ years. In 1933, he became manager of the Old Mill Inn, Southwick.
In his youth, Mr Hogg was a keen cricketer and played with Backworth in
the Tyneside League. For many years since his return to the town, he was a
member of Roker Park Bowling Club. He was a member of a Scottish Lodge of
Freemasons, but took no active part in Sunderland Freemasonry.
"Mr
Hogg was twice married. He leaves a widow, two sons, and three daughters."
- The Sunderland Echo, Saturday, 30 January 1937 |
Funeral
Wednesday, 3 February 1937
Southwick Cemetery, Wembley
Road |
|
"A crowd of more than 2,000—the biggest ever to watch a funeral in
Southwick—lined the route from the Old Mill Inn to Southwick Parish Church
to-day for the interment of Mr William Hogg, one of the most popular
players ever to play for Sunderland F.C. The funeral services at the
church and cemetery were conducted by the Revs. J. Ridley Barker and E.
Leigh. Pallbearers were Messrs. C de Roche, A. Oliver, I'Anson, M.
O'Brien." - The
Sunderland Echo, Wednesday, 3 February 1937 |

"One of Hogg's most notable feats
was the performing of the hat-trick in an Inter-League match with Scotland
at Newcastle in 1901-02. He took a penalty three times, netting each time
and having the goals disallowed twice for infringement." -
