Billy Jervis

William John Jervis (born 22 January 1942) is an English former professional footballer. He made only one appearance in The Football League, in a match which was abandoned early and represents one of the few uncompleted Football League matches for which the result was allowed to stand.

Career Born in Liverpool, Jervis began his career as a youth team player with Blackburn Rovers. He played as a striker, although he was only 5' 6" tall and slightly built. In the 1958–59 season he played in the Rovers team which defeated West Ham United in the final of the FA Youth Cup.

Jervis lost his place in the Gillingham team to Ronnie Waldock for the club's next match and was not selected for the first team again in the 1961–62 season. He left the club to join Stalybridge Celtic of the Cheshire County League in July 1962. The abandoned match at Barrow was thus the only Football League match in which he played. It is unknown how long he remained at Stalybridge or if he went on to play for any other clubs.
