Matthew Williamson Barrass (14 February 1899 – 1953) was an English footballer who played for Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday and Manchester City as a half-back or forward.
His son, Malcolm, who was also a professional footballer,[1] was born in Blackpool during his father's spell at the town's club.
He made his debut for the club on the final day of the 1919–20 league season, in a 3–2 home victory over Nottingham Forest.
In 1922–23, Barrass scored sixteen league goals, including a hat-trick in a 3–0 win against Bradford City at Bloomfield Road on 9 September 1922.
He joined Sheffield Wednesday shortly afterwards, and went on to make 48 league appearances for the Owls, scoring fourteen goals.
