Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox football biography William Birrell (13 March 1897 – 29 November 1968) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a forward.

Career

Birrell made over 220 appearances as a forward in the Football League for Middlesbrough.[1] He also made over 120 appearances in the Scottish League for Raith Rovers.[2] He began his career in management while a player at Raith Rovers and after his retirement, he managed Football League clubs Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Queens Park Rangers.[3][4]

On 19 April 1939, he was appointed the new Chelsea manager.[4] The Second World War forced the Football League to be abandoned less than half a year following Birrell's appointment.[5] During wartime, he led Chelsea to two consecutive Football League War Cup South Final at Wembley, winning the cup in 1945.[5]

In wartime, Birrell developed the idea of a youth team for Chelsea, and on 25 May 1940, the Chelsea Junior team, a team which included future England manager Ron Greenwood, played their first match against Queens Park Rangers.[6] Birrell's plan was fully implemented after the war, with the sponsorship of The Tudor Rose Boys' Club, allowing them to run four teams in the Harrow and Wembley League.[7]

Personal life

Birrell's brother Bob was also a footballer.[3]
