William McCourty (1884 – 10 December 1917) was an English professional footballer born in Morpeth, Northumberland, who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[3] McCourty, a former coal miner who played at left half, joined Birmingham in May 1909.[4] He made his debut in the Second Division on 13 September 1909, deputising for the injured Tommy Daykin in a home game against Glossop which finished as a 2–2 draw, and was never picked again, returning to non-league football the following year.[4][5]
