William Lee "Billy" Turley (born 15 July 1973) is an English football goalkeeper currently playing for Conference National side Oxford United. He was the first choice goalkeeper under Jim Smith in the 2006–2007 Football Season, ahead of Chris Tardif and has continued to be during the 2007–2008 Season under Darren Patterson. He is liked by fans for his character, and despite the occasional error, including missing a penalty in the penalty shot out loss to Exeter in the playoff semi final in 2007, has produced some crucial saves for Oxford United. His banter, with fans and players alike, has made him an iconic figure in the Oxford United goal.[citation needed]
Turley is well liked among the Oxford United fans, not just for his goalkeeping prowess, but also his hijinks on the touchline which have often led to some reprimands from managers.
In 2004 while playing for Rushden and Diamonds, Turley failed a drugs test and was sacked by Rushden and was banned by The Football Association for 6 months.
