Biography

Player #345 for Aston Villa, William Swan Simpson, known as Billy Simpson, played as a midfielder for the club in the position then known as a left half.

Billy played for Villa between 1931-32 and 1934-35 making 29 appearances, scoring once.

Billy was born in Cowdenbeath, Scotland on 1 May 1907 and made his debut appearance for Villa on the 30 January 1932 aged 24.

After signing for Villa Billy made his debut against Chelsea in January 1932, but went on to make just one more appearance that season.
