Stephen Tillotson (born 1884, deceased) was an English professional association football player who played as a goalkeeper.
Tillotson made his debut for Blackpool in the opening game of the 1907–08 season, a 1–1 draw at Stockport County on 2 September. He remained in goal for the following sixteen games, of which the Seasiders won only two. He was replaced for the remaining twenty-one games by William Fiske.[1]
Fiske remained first-choice for almost the entirety of the 1908–09 campaign; only a return by Tillotson in the penultimate League game — a single-goal defeat at Gainsborough Trinity on 17 April — spoiled his run. This was Tillotson's final game for the club. He joined Lancashire rivals Burnley shortly afterwards.[2]
