Herbert "Dick" Butler (18 November 1911June 1984) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham and Crewe Alexandra.[1]

Butler was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. A centre half, he began his football career with Bestwood Colliery before joining Birmingham in May 1933.[2] Because of the consistency of George Morrall and then of Tom Fillingham, Butler did not make his first-team debut until 12 September 1936, deputising for Fillingham in the First Division game at home to Stoke City which Birmingham lost 42.[3] In nearly six years with the club, Butler was a major player for the reserve team in the Central League, but appeared only 11 times for the first team. In March 1939 he joined Crewe Alexandra,[2] but played only six league games before the Second World War put an end to his professional career.[1] During the war he made guest appearances for West Bromwich Albion.[2]

Butler died in Bestwood, Nottinghamshire in 1984 at the age of 72.[2]
