Thomas "Tommy" Hymers (born 29 April 1935) is a former English footballer who played in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers.[1]

Career

Hymers was born in Thorne and 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.[2]
