Billy Stagg was a tiny midfielder/winger - only about 5'4" - who did play 4 league games in 1974 as mentioned above. He never progressed beyond his apprenticeship though and was released without sigining professional terms. He would be 49 years old now.

Billy's entry from the publication "Timeless Bees"

STAGG, William
Forward: L4 Apps
Born: Ealing 17/10/1957
Career: BRENTFORD (1972-75), Staines Town.

Billy originally signed for Brentford on associate schoolboy forms and was still an apprentice when he made his debut as a 16 year old in a 0-0 draw at Rochdale in September 1974. He held his place for the next three games, showing immense promise, but from then on was confined to the reserves before being released in another of the club's cost cutting exercises. Billy subsequently played for a host of local senior non-League teams as well as in the USA and Denmark.
