Billy Whitehurst
| Date of birth | 10 June 1959 |
| Place of birth | Thurnscoe |
| Position | Forward |
Big Billy was one of the hardmen of his generation and somewhat of a throwback to the bustling English centre-forwards of an earlier era. Unfortunately, he was not to have the same success as earlier Newcastle No. 9s.
