William Hogg was a Scottish association football wing forward who spent seven seasons in the
American Soccer League.
Hogg began his career in his native Scotland, seeing time in nine league games for
Dundee United F.C. during the 1921–1922 Scottish league season. In the fall of 1923, he signed with the
Brooklyn Wanderers of the
American Soccer League. He played only one league game, scoring a goal, that season. Over the next two seasons, he became a regular on the Brooklyn front line, scoring thirteen goals during the 1923–24 season. This put him tied for sixth on the league scoring list. Although he scored fourteen goals the next season, he was not among the top fifteen on the list as scoring across the league exploded.
