Billy Lamont (12 May 1936 – October 2021) was a Scottish football player and manager.
Born in Larkhall, Lamont played as a goalkeeper for Bellshill Athletic, Cheltenham Town, Hamilton Academical and Albion Rovers.
He managed Hamilton during his first spell as a player there. After retiring as a player, Lamont managed East Stirlingshire. Lamont enjoyed some success with the club, guiding them to promotion in 1979–80 and a place in the quarter-finals of the 1980–81 Scottish Cup.[3] He then managed Dumbarton and guided them to near the top of the Scottish First Division in the 1983–84 season, but left the club in February 1984 to manage Falkirk.[4]
Lamont guided Falkirk to promotion to the Scottish Premier Division in 1985–86, but then left the club in February 1987 because he believed that the club needed a full-time manager to compete in the Premier Division and he was unwilling to relinquish his other job.[5] After leaving Falkirk, Lamont then managed Partick Thistle.[6] He returned to Falkirk in November 1989 on a part-time basis,[5] but was sacked a few months later after the club was taken over by new owners.[7] Lamont then returned to Dumbarton. In season 1991-92 Billy successfully led Dumbarton to the First Division by winning the Scottish Second Division[8] and later managed Alloa Athletic.
After retiring from the game, Lamont resided in Spain. He died in October 2021, at the age of 85.[9]
