William McMillan (16 July 1872 – 1929)[1] was a Scottish professional footballer who played at half-back for Heart of Midlothian and Southampton in the 1890s.
[3] McMillan retained his place at right-half for the following season and along with Robert Buchanan, George Clawley and Jack Farrell was ever-present in both the League and FA Cup.
[2] At the end of McMillan's first full season, Southampton, now playing at the County Ground, took the Southern League title for the first of six occasions over the next eight years.
McMillan lost his regular place in the side to Samuel Meston who had moved forward to accommodate new signing Tom Nicol at right-back.
[2] He subsequently made three appearances for Burnley[6] before returning to Scotland where he played a few matches for St Mirren and Morton before retiring.
