William Elwood Neale (20 May 1933 – 2001) was an English footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Darlington, and in non-league football for North Shields. He was on the books of Sunderland without playing first-team football for them.[1][4] He did contribute to the club's "A" team winning the 1950–51 Wearside League title and two other trophies. According to the Sunderland Echo, "right half Neale, although on the small side, used both feet, distributed the ball well, and was a bundle of energy all the way through" the final of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup.[5]
