Paddy Mills

Career Mills was born in Multan, India, but raised in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. He began his football career with local club Barton Town before joining Hull City of the Second Division in 1920. For three consecutive seasons, from 1923–24 to 1925–26, Mills was Hull's leading scorer; in the second of those three seasons, he scored 29 goals in all competitions when no other Hull player reached double figures. In 1927 he was joined by his younger brother Percy, who would go on to play more than 400 games for the club. New manager Haydn Green converted Mills to play at wing half, though he still scored goals: 12 in 30 games in the 1930–31 season and 11 in 37 the next season.

On leaving Hull, Mills moved into non-League football with Scunthorpe & Lindsey United and Gainsborough Trinity before finishing his career at his first club, Barton Town.
