William Smith was a Scottish footballer who played for Hibernian as an outside left,[2][3] although in the last few of the 12 seasons he spent at Easter Road, he was often used at left half after the emergence of Harry Ritchie.[4] Smith played in the 1914 Scottish Cup Final which Hibs lost to Celtic after a replay,[5] and was also selected three times for the Scottish League XI.[6]
