William Wallace (25 April 1905 – 22 August 1960) was an English international rugby union player.
A three-quarter, Wallace played his club rugby for North Shields club Percy Park, which utilised him primarily on the right wing. He was a Northumberland representative player and in 1924 toured with the British Lions to South Africa, where he counted a Test match amongst his eight appearances.[1] After putting five tries past Griqualand West, playing as a centre, Wallace made the team for the 1st Test match against the Springboks at Durban, slotting in on a wing.[2]
Wallace was manager of Granville Colliery in Derbyshire.[3]
