William Thomas Phillipson (31 October 1898 – 19 November 1965) was an English footballer, who set a number of goalscoring records for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Phillipson served as a sergeant in the West Yorkshire Regiment in Russia before returning to his native North-East England to sign for Newcastle United in December 1919.
He opened his goalscoring account with a hat-trick against Ashington on his 4th appearance and finished the campaign with 14 goals as the club won the Third Division title at their first attempt.
During the close season in 1927, Fred Scotchbrook was replaced by Major Frank Buckley as manager, a move which saw Phillipson's goal form begin to decline.
He spent two seasons at Bramall Lane before returning to the Midlands as player-manager of non-league Bilston United in 1930.
