Iain Edward Hume (born on 30 October in 1983) is a Canadian footballer who plays for Spanish club Extremadura UD in Segunda División B.
He began his career at Tranmere Rovers in 1999, and six years later moved to Leicester City for an initial £500,000 fee. Three years later he was signed by Barnsley for £1.2 million, where he suffered a serious head injury in a match against Sheffield United. He later played for Preston North End, and was loaned to Doncaster Rovers and Fleetwood Town, where he won League One and the League Two play-offs respectively.
In 2014, he joined Kerala Blasters of the newly formed Indian Super League, and played the next two seasons with Atlético de Kolkata, winning the 2016 championship. He is the competition's highest scorer of all time with 23 goals.
Hume was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, but plays internationally for Canada. He debuted for them in 2003, and represented the nation at three CONCACAF Gold Cups.
Hume is a supporter of Liverpool and Hearts. He idolised Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Robertson as a child. As of 2009, he lived in Oldham, Greater Manchester, and cherishes autographed jerseys of his two favourite sportsmen, former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and Canadian ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. His parents Eddie and Wilma live in Brampton, Ontario.
