William "Billy" Hogg (29 May 1879 – 30 January 1937) was an English footballer who played at outside right, winning the Football League championship with Sunderland in 1901–02, before moving to Scotland where he won the Scottish League title three times with Rangers. He also made three appearances for England in 1902.
Hogg was born in Sunderland and was playing local football with Willington Athletic when he was spotted by Sunderland where he became a professional in October 1899. He made his debut on 2 December 1899, scoring in a 5–0 victory over Notts County. He soon became a regular fixture in the outside-right berth and in his first season Sunderland finished third in the League, with Hogg having made 19 appearances with six goals.
The following season he was ever-present appearing in all 34 league matches, contributing nine goals as Sunderland finished as runners-up. In 1901–02 Hogg missed six games, but increased his goal tally to ten for the season, as Sunderland claimed the Championship by a three-point margin over Everton.
Hogg was selected for all England's matches in the 1902 British Home Championship, including the match played at Ibrox Park on 5 April 1902 which was subsequently declared "void" after the collapse of a stand left 25 spectators dead. England had played poorly in their opening matches, drawing 0–0 with Wales on 3 March 1902 and scrambling a 1–0 victory over the Irish on 22 March. Following the Ibrox disaster, the Scotland game was relocated to Villa Park. The match was fiercely fought and ended with a 2–2 draw, sharing the points but giving the trophy to the Scots.
