}}William John Edwards (6 July 1929 – May 2014) was a Welsh professional footballer and football manager. In his playing career he was a full-back.[2]

Playing career

Edwards began his career as an amateur, initially with Cardiff City and then Lovells Athletic,[3] from whom he joined Crystal Palace in June 1949.[2][4] Over the next ten seasons Edwards was a regular in the Crystal Palace side and made 223 League appearances before moving to Rochdale in June 1959.[4] After 68 appearances for Rochdale, Edwards moved into non-league football with Ashford Town (Kent),[2] where he also held a coaching position.[3]

Coaching and management career

In February 1963 he became manager of Exeter City, remaining in charge until early 1965.[5]

Edwards was appointed as Torquay United manager in October 1971, a post he held until January 1973.[5] He later returned to Exeter,[3] for a short spell, before becoming assistant manager at Plymouth Argyle.[3] He subsequently served Leeds United as a scout.[3]
