William "Bill" Ellerington (born 30 June 1923) is a former footballer who was capped twice for the full England national team[1] and once for England B,[2] and spent his entire professional club career at Southampton F.C.[3]
Born in Southampton,[1] Ellerington signed as a professional with his home-town club in September 1945 and made his debut in an FA Cup game at Newport County on 10 January 1946. After retiring in 1956, he became a scout and is credited with spotting the young Mick Channon.[citation needed]
His father, also called Bill, was a half back with Middlesbrough and Nelson in the 1920s.[4][5]
