William Egan (footballer)

Thomas William Egan (1872–1946[1]) was a Welsh professional association footballer who played as an inside forward.

Egan played in the Football League for Ardwick, Burnley, Sheffield United and Lincoln City.

After a month with Ashton North End in May 1895, he joined Sheffield United in November, where he replaced his former Chirk team-mate, Joe Davies.

Described as a "tricky player" who had a "fine shot at goal", Egan could play in any of the forward positions.

[3] After a season in Sheffield, in which he scored four goals from 15 league appearances, Egan moved on to Lincoln City before dropping into non-League football in 1897.
