Billy Wedlock
Encyclopedia : B : BI : BIL : Billy Wedlock
William 'Billy' John Wedlock (October 28, 1880 - January 25, 1965) also known as "Fatty" or the "India Rubber Man" was a footballer who played for Bristol City in 1900-01 and from 1905 until his retirement in 1921. He was a centre-half whose skill outweighed his short and stout stature. He won twenty-six England caps between 1907 and 1914, his only rival for the centre-half position being Charlie Roberts of Manchester United. The East End at Ashton Gate is named the Wedlock Stand in his honour.
