William H. Edwards (1874 – after 1896) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]
Edwards was born in Coventry, Warwickshire. An outside left, he played football for Singer's before joining Small Heath in September 1896 as a replacement for Tommy Hands,[2] who had walked out of the club after six seasons as first choice on the left wing.[3] Edwards made his debut in the Second Division on the opening day of the 1896–97 season in a 3–1 win at home to Newcastle United, and played four of the next six games, scoring once, before losing his place and not regaining it.[4] Described as "enthusiastic [but] rather limited", he left for non-league football with Rugby.[2]
Edwards' older brother Harry was also a professional footballer who played for Small Heath.[2]
