Born in Alloa, Scotland, Hume signed as an apprentice for Hibernian in 1955, before emigrating to New Zealand the following year.[1] Hume represented both New Zealand[2] and Australia at international level.[3]
His senior career began with Hamilton Wanderers before he moved to Australia to join Gladesville-Ryde in the NSW Premier League, and later playing for Sydney Hakoah.[3] He returned to New Zealand in the early 1960s playing out his career with club side Hamilton Wanderers.
