Willie Young (footballer born 1956)

William John Young (born February 24, 1956) was a Scottish professional footballer, playing as a winger. He was educated at St Mirin's Academy in Paisley.

Willie Young joined Aston Villa in July 1978 as a 22-year-old from Scottish non-league side Arthurlie. His signing set the junior football record at the time with his debut coming when he started on the 14th October against Manchester United. After 3 games in that first season, Young did not appear again in the Villa league side, and in October 1981 moved to Torquay United for a fee of £10,000. He played 38 times in the league for Torquay before leaving English professional football due to injury.

He now works as a Physics teacher in Kingsbridge, Devon
