Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography Brian William Eric Rushton (21 October 1943 – 29 October 2023) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham City[1] and Notts County.[2] He played as a full back.

Rushton was born in Sedgley, Staffordshire. He captained the Brierley Hill schools representative side before joining Birmingham City as an amateur in 1959.[3] He made his debut in the First Division on 30 March 1963, deputising for Stan Lynn in a home game against Sheffield Wednesday which resulted in a 1–1 draw; this was the first of a run of eleven games, nine in the league and both legs of the League Cup semi-final, which ended when Lynn regained fitness.[4] He played three more first-team games[5] before joining Fourth Division club Notts County in 1967, but after one season, in which he played only three games,[2] Rushton dropped into non-league football with Stourbridge.[3]

Rushton died on October 29, 2023, at the age of 80.[6]
