William Kennedy Jackson (24 December 1900 – 9 February 1986) was a Scottish professional football defender who played for clubs including Vale of Leven, Wrexham and Aberdeen.
[5] Jackson then returned to Vale of Leven, was made captain, soon again attracted attention from bigger teams, and this time signed for Aberdeen in March 1925.
For a brief period he was one of four men of the same surname in the line-up at Pittodrie, along with defender James and the brothers Wattie and Alex (who were from the same district as Willie but not related to him).
[6] He remained with the Dons until 1932, making 206 appearances in the Scottish Football League and Scottish Cup,[1] albeit with no major trophies won: he played in a Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic in 1926, and the club finished third in the 1929–30 season, by which time Jackson, who originally played as a centre forward or inside left, had converted to a defender.
