William "Billy" Burns (1907 – unknown) was a footballer who played in the Football League for Stockport County and Stoke City.[1]
Career
Burns was born in Durham and played for Crook Town before joining Stoke in 1930.[1] He scored twice on his debut against Preston North End but was never given a chance by Tom Mather and left for Stockport County at the end of the 1930–31 season.[1] He played six matches for Stockport and had a failed spell with Rotherham United and so Burns decided to peruse a different career.[1]
