Profile

Hewitt, who was known as "Captain" because of his days as a naval skipper, left Tottenham one year before the club was elected to the Football League.

He was a forward who scored six times in the 16 First Division appearances he made for Liverpool during the 1907-08 season. He scored on his debut on the opening day of the season at Nottingham Forest but Liverpool went down 3-1. Hewitt figured in 13 of the first 14 matches before losing his place to Robert Robinson. He was only selected on three more occasions during the rest of his one and only season at Anfield.

After retiring as a player in 1919, Hewitt had a somewhat successful career as manager, promoting Chester to the Football league and taking Millwall out of Third Division South in 1938. He also took his Millwall side as far as to the FA Cup semi-finals in 1937. World War II intervened and Hewitt and the Lions went their separate ways until 1948 when he was appointed the club's manager again. He did not achieve as much success in his second spell and was sacked in 1956 after failing to get the Lions out of the Third Division.
