Kevin Hill (footballer)

Hill was born in Exeter and was playing for non-league side Torrington, and working in a local supermarket, when Kevin Hodges signed him for Torquay United in August 1997.

[1] Hill was awarded a testimonial in 2007, culminating in a match with local rivals Plymouth Argyle at Plainmoor and his loyalty to the club led to him being sent a letter by FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

He struggled to establish himself under new manager Paul Buckle and in February 2008 was linked with a loan move to Dorchester Town,[2] but chose to stay with Torquay.

On 5 May 2008, Hill made his record equalling 473rd appearance for Torquay United in a play-off semi final defeat (1–4 on the day 3–5 on aggregate) at home to local rivals Exeter City.

On 23 February 2022, Hill made a one-off appearance for Tiverton following a major injury crisis for the club and played in their 4-1 defeat away to Chesham United[6][7]
