Henry George Smith (born 10 March 1956) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. He spent the majority of his career with Heart of Midlothian.[2]
He made his debut for Hearts in a League Cup win over Airdrie at Broomfield in 1981.[3]
He won three caps for Scotland between 1988 and 1992 against Saudi Arabia, Northern Ireland and Canada[3] and was part of the Scotland squad at Euro 92. He was perhaps unfortunate to play during a time when Scotland had the services of Jim Leighton and Andy Goram, which restricted his opportunities at international level. Additionally, he played two matches for the under-21s as an overage player.[4]
Smith played in the Home Nations Masters Tournament in March 2009.[5] At 53 years of age, he was the oldest player in the tournament.
