Christopher Billy is a footballer who was born in Huddersfield on January 2, 1973, and signed for his local club Huddersfield Town as a trainee on the 1 July 1991.
His last act in a Huddersfield shirt was to score the winning goal at Wembley Stadium which earned Huddersfield promotion via the play-off system. He then left to join Plymouth Argyle on the 10 August 1995.
Billy played for Plymouth Argyle during the club's promotional 95-96 season, and played in 108 matches, and scored 8 goals between the 10 August 1995 until he left to join Notts County on the 1 July 1998. His time with Notts County was brief and started only three games before signing for Bury on a Free transfer on the 18 September 1998. He stayed at Bury until the 19 May 2003, when he moved to Carlisle United, who were relegated to the Football Conference League during the 2003-04 season.
After only one season away from the Football League, they were promoted back to Football League Two via the playoffs where Billy scored a superb goal in the semi final home leg at Brunton Park. Billy continues to play for Carlisle in 2006. A tower of strength holding in central midfield, Chris has silenced his critics to become a crowd favourite and is absolutely vital to Carlisle's continued success. Quite how Carlisle will cope with his departure at the end of this season, remains to be seen. But that's irrelevant as he's contracted for another year with no plans of retiring.
