Billy Wooldridge

William Thomas Wooldridge (19 August 1878 – 1945) was an English footballer who spent nearly his entire career with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He scored two in his second game to give the club victory over their Black Country rivals West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Wooldridge frequently began to play at centre back between September and December 1906, a position he held permanently from November 1907.

He played in his now favoured position when he captained Wolves to their 1908 FA Cup triumph, when they beat First Division Newcastle United 3–1 in the final.

The Robins were made to pay for missing their chance first time around as Leicester ran out 6-1 winners, becoming the last FA Cup match for Wooldridge.
