Ralph C. Hamill

Ralph C. Hamill (1877 to 1961) was an American physician whose earlier life included college football. He played the game and served as head coach of the Centre College team in Danville, Kentucky, in 1900. He later worked as a neurologist and psychiatrist, and he is credited with the first description of superficial siderosis, which he published in 1908. He died on July 5, 1961, at his home in Winnetka, Illinois. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief, so this record rests on the facts it states about his coaching, his later medical career, his 1908 description of superficial siderosis and his death, and it does not go beyond them.
