Hugh Lafferty (16 November 1901 – 24 December 1970) was a Scottish association football half back who played professionally in Scotland, England and the United States.[2]
Lafferty spent time with teams in both Scotland (St Johnstone) and England (Fulham), who later progressed to their countries' respective top divisions, before moving to the United States in 1929 to join the New York Nationals of the American Soccer League. In 1930, the Nationals were renamed the Giants and Lafferty played for them through the 1931 season.[3] He was married with three children and retired to Kilsyth in Scotland.
