John Hume was a Scottish professional footballer who played for Scottish First Division club Aberdeen as a defender.[2]

Hume made over 300 appearances for Aberdeen before leaving in 1920 to go to Darwen in England as a coach. He later emigrated to the United States after brief spells with Arbroath and Peterhead, but eventually returned to Scotland.[1]

In February 1913, he joined Airdrieonians for one game only, a Scottish Cup tie against St Mirren.[1]
