Jimmy Hill

Jimmy Hill OBE (born Balham, London, July 22, 1928) is a British football personality. His career has taken in virtually every role in football, including player, union leader, coach, manager, director, chairman, television executive, presenter, analyst and even match official.

Playing career

He started playing in 1949 with Brentford, before moving to Fulham in 1953, for whom he played over 300 games. He scored five goals for Fulham in an away game against Doncaster Rovers and was part of the team that gained promotion to Division One.

In 1957 he became chairman of the Professional Footballers Association, and successfully campaigned to have the Football League's £20 maximum wage scrapped.

Management career

In 1961, he retired from playing and joined Coventry City F.C. as manager, and in five seasons took them from the Third Division to the First Division for the first time.

Legacy

He has a reputation as an all-round innovator in football - as well as helping to get rid of the maximum wage, he commissioned the first all-seater stadium when at Coventry, and has been credited with the invention of the 3 points for a win system, which was pioneered by The Football Association in 1981.

In one of the odder moments of his career, Hill took over from an injured linesman when he had been commentating on a match between Arsenal and Liverpool in 1972.

Jimmy Hill has been immortalised in the Scottish football chant "We hate Jimmy Hill, he's a poof, he's a poof". He had become unpopular with Scotland fans for describing David Narey's goal against Brazil in the 1982 World Cup as "a toe-poke" during the BBC's live coverage.

The term "Jimmy Hill" is also often used to describe someone as not telling the whole truth. It is likely the linking grew from people suggesting someone is not telling the truth by scratching their own chins, and from the distinct chin feature of Jimmy Hill.

Alternatively, the term is used to express scepticism about an extreme opinion which is possible but unlikely (the same attitude can be expressed wordlessly simply by stroking one's chin).
