Hugh Lester (1891 – 5 August 1933) was an American professional association footballer. He began his career with Liverpool in 1911, making two appearances in the English Football League as an outside-forward. He later played for Oldham Athletic, where he converted to playing as a full-back, and Reading. A former amateur sprinter, he was considered "the fastest player in professional football" at the time.[2]
