Billy Madin

William Madin was an English footballer who played for Sheffield United as a forward[1] Signed in 1889 from Staveley he had answered United's advert in the local press asking for players to form a club, although he stayed with the Bramall Lane side for just their inaugural season which consisted mainly of friendly fixtures.[1] Madin played three games for the Blades in the FA Cup, including their heaviest ever defeat; a 13–0 loss to Bolton Wanderers in February 1890.[2] Madin left Bramall Lane not long after and returned to his former club Stavely before finishing his career with Eckington.[1]
