William Herbert "Billy" Wrigglesworth (12 November 1912 – 11 August 1980) was an English footballer who played as a forward. He played for Chesterfield, before joining First Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1934. He was top scorer for Wolves in the 1935-36 season with 13 goals. Wrigglesworth joined Manchester United in 1937. He spent 10 years with Manchester United but for most of that time there was no competitive senior football due to the Second World War, meaning that he was restricted to 37 matches for the club, scoring 10 goals. In 1947, he was transferred to Bolton Wanderers in a swap deal that involved goalkeeper Bill Fielding going to Old Trafford.
