William Harris (25 September 1890–?) was a Scottish professional footballer who played for Benburb, Rutherglen Glencairn and Tottenham Hotspur. [1] [2]
Harris signed for Tottenham Hotspur in May, 1909 for a fee of five guineas from the Govan based Scottish junior club Benurb. The full back made his league debut in November, 1909 when they visited St James' Park to play Newcastle United, the match which ended in 1–0 to the home side with the only goal scored by Scott Duncan. Harris had been expected to join his local club Third Lanark but opted to join the North London club. The full back was said to have been able to play equally as well on either side of defence. [3]
