Billy Dunn (footballer, born 1865)

William "Billy" Dunn (24 March 1865 – 28 July 1921) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke and Walsall Town Swifts.

Dunn started his career with East Stirlingshire and became the clubs all time goalscorer. In an era when many goalscorers were left unrecorded Dunn scored a known 128 goals for East Stirlingshire from his known debut on 13 October 1883 to season 1889–90 in 180 games. During his time at East Stirlingshire he mainly played on the wing but also played in the Back and Half-Back positions.

In 1889 he moved down to England to play for Stoke along with fellow East Stirlingshire team mate Harry Simpson. In his first season with Stoke, the team suffered a truly terrible campaign and failed to gain re-election to the Football League and so joined the Football Alliance for the 1890–91 season. Stoke found the Alliance much easier as did Dunn who scored eleven goals as the club took the title and with it re-election back into the league. Dunn played most matches during the next season but after injury he was released by the end of the 1892–93 season and joined Hednesford Town before ending his career with Walsall Town Swifts.
