William "Bill" Strang (born 7 October 1883) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Strang was a strong aerialist, used as both a follower and forward. He kicked three of South Melbourne's six goals, from centre half-forward, in their 1907 VFL Grand Final loss to Carlton.[1]
He spent the next period of his career in New South Wales. After moving to Albury to start a business, he began playing for the Albury Football Club.[2]
Strang returned to South Melbourne in 1913 and was the club's leading goal-kicker with 29 goals.[1]
Four sons, Allan, Colin, Doug and Gordon, all played in the VFL.[3]
