William Lambton (2 December 1914 – 16 September 1976) was an English football player and manager.
Despite signing Leeds legends Don Revie and Billy Bremner, he was asked to leave after just four months.
Lambton was appointed Chester manager in January 1962, two months after the sacking of Stan Pearson.
Greater things were expected the following season, but a poor run of just four wins in their last 18 games saw them finish fourth from bottom and forced to again apply for re-election to the league.
Although Chester comfortably achieved enough votes to remain in the league, Lambton had his contract cancelled by mutual consent in July 1963.
