William Ian Brown (6 September 1910 – 15 January 1993), sometimes known as Billy Brown, was a professional footballer who played a number of positions in the Football League for Brentford, Luton Town, Leyton Orient and Huddersfield Town.

Career

Brown began his career in non-league football with Fairbairn House and Silvertown, before joining Division Three South club Luton Town in 1930.[1] He made shy of 50 league appearances in four seasons at Kenilworth Road, before moving to the top flight with Huddersfield Town in 1934.[2] He was used sparingly before joining Division One rivals Brentford in March 1937 as a replacement for Dai Richards.[3][6] He quickly became a regular with the Bees, playing in both full back positions, at half back and centre forward during the two-and-a-half years before the Second World War intervened.[3] Brown remained with Brentford during the war, with his 246 appearances being the most by any Brentford player during wartime.[8] He dropped down to the basement to sign for Leyton Orient in May 1947,[1] before seeing out his career in the Southern League with Chingford Town the following year.[3]
