William Pratt (1872 – after 1898) was an English professional footballer who made 22 appearances in the Football Alliance playing for Small Heath.[1]
Pratt, born in Highgate, Birmingham, joined Small Heath in 1889. A winger whose strengths were dribbling and crossing the ball but who lacked pace,[2] he made his first-team debut on 19 October 1889, playing at inside left in a 2–2 draw away at The Wednesday in the Football Alliance. He became a first-team regular in the 1890–91 season, but lost his place to new arrival "Toddy" Hands in December 1890, played only twice more for the first team,[1] and dropped back into local non-league football in 1892.[2]
He is often confused with another Billy Pratt, a left back who did not join the club until 1894.[2]
