William "Billy" Stagg (born 17 October 1957) is a retired English football winger who played in the Football League for Brentford. He also played in Sweden and the United States.[2] Stagg's 5'4" height ties him with Hughie Reed for the record of shortest Brentford player.[3]

Career

A graduate of the Brentford youth team, Stagg made four appearances for the Bees during the 1974–75 Division Four campaign at the age of 16.[2] Stagg was released in the summer of 1975 and dropped into non-league football, playing for Wealdstone (two spells),[4] Staines Town,[2] Aylesbury United,[4] Hazells,[4] Tonbridge Angels, Northwood (three spells),[5] Hendon[6] and St Albans City.[7] He had a short spell with Swedish Division Two side GAIS during the 1980 season,[8] scoring in a 4–0 win over eventual champions Örgryte IS.[9]
