William Whiting was an English footballer who played as a half-back for Southampton in the 1900s, before becoming a referee.
Whiting played football as an amateur for Fitzhugh Rovers before joining Southampton of the Southern League in 1901. In his six years at the "Saints", he only made four first-team appearances but in excess of 200 appearances for the reserves.[1]
His first-team debut came when he replaced the injured Samuel Meston at right-half in a 4–1 victory over Kettering Town on 15 February 1902.[2] He made two first-team appearances in the 1902–03 season, with his final appearance in the Southern League coming on 10 April 1905.[3]
In 1905, he was a member of the Southampton Reserves team which won the Hampshire Senior Cup.[1]
He left Southampton in the summer of 1907 to join Salisbury City where he spent a season, before joining Eastleigh Athletic.[1]
After the First World War, Whiting became a referee in Southampton, and was promoted to the Southern League list in September 1921.[1]
