Billy Stark

Scottish centre-forward Billy was one of that rare breed who played for both Rangers and Celtic although his appearances for each were limited to the reserve team. He did, though, boast an excellent strike rate at all his six League clubs, starting with Crewe in 1960, showing pace as well as good heading ability for someone who was not particularly tall.

Billy moved to Luton from Colchester in September 1965 in exchange for Ted Phillips but after nine League appearances and three goals he was surprisingly loaned out to Corby.

He was back in the Football League the following season with Chesterfield before finishing up at Newport a year later.

Billy now lives in Chesterfield and is a retired project manager for an opencast mining company.
