William 'Bill' Perkins (Born Wellingborough, 26 January 1876, died Rushden, circa 1940) played for Liverpool Football Club in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Life and playing career
Born in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England, Perkins played for Kettering and Luton before being signed by Liverpool manager Tom Watson in March 1899, making his debut in a Football League Division One match against Newcastle at Anfield on 3 April 1899 a game that the Reds won 3-2. Perkins, a goalkeeper, was an ever present between the sticks when the Anfield club won their first ever Football League First Division Championship in 1901. Perkins became the Reds number 1 when he took over from Matt McQueen who was more suited to playing outfield. Harry Storer started the first 11 games during the 1899-00 season but Perkins took over and remained first choice until the 1903 when he shared the duties with Peter Platt; Platt was selected to play in the 1-1 draw against Sunderland on 30 March 1903 and Perkins never played for the Reds again eventually moving to Northampton the same year after 117 appearances in the Liverpool goal.
