Billy McDerment

William Sterling McDerment Date of Birth: Jan 5, 1943

Picked up from Scottish junior football by Leicester in 1961, Billy had difficulty in winning a permanent place in the Foxes line-up and in six years at Filbert Street made only 23 League appearances.

Regarded as a big signing by Luton in 1967, as the Hatters were about to embark on their successful Division Four championship season, Billy was the original utility man at Kenilworth Road appearing in every outfield position apart from inside-left in his two years with the club.

The wholehearted Scot then spent a less than successful spell at Notts County before moving back to Scotland with Morton where he enjoyed an extended run in the top flight.

Billy sadly passed away in November 2021.
