William Owen (1906 – after 1930) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham and Coventry City.[2] He played as a goalkeeper.
Owen was born in Coventry. He joined Birmingham from Nuneaton Borough in April 1926.[3] He made his debut in the First Division on 15 January 1927 in a 3–2 defeat at Burnley, the first of a run of six games in which he deputised for Dan Tremelling.[4] Once Tremelling became available again, Owen returned to the reserves.[3] He moved on to Fulham and Coventry City, for whom he played five Third Division South games in the 1930–31 season before returning to non-league football with former club Nuneaton and with Stourbridge.[2]
