Billy Annis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Billy Annis (1878 - 1938) was an English footballer for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He was born in Darlaston, Staffordshire and played in the half-back position.

He joined the club in August 1898 from Stafford Road FC (the town's railway works side) and went on to make 147 appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring one goal. In this period, Wolves performance in the league was mediocre, but they did win the Birmingham Senior Cup twice during his stay at the club (in 1899 and 1901).

He sustained a knee injury and left the club in 1905 to join nearby Cradley Heath FC, later moving to Lincoln where he died in 1938.
