Thomas "Tommy" Hymers (born 29 April 1935) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers.
Career
Hymers was born in Thorne and worked in Frickley Colliery and also played for their football team. He joined Doncaster Rovers in 1958 and played in 22 matches during the 1959–60 season and five matches in 1960–61 which included Doncaster's first match in the League Cup, a 3–1 victory over Stoke City. Unfortunately for Hymers he scored an own goal giving him the dubious honour of being Stoke's first goalscorer in the League Cup.
