Another discovery from the non-league sides of the north-east,
Billy Furness was a popular player who scored and made many goals
for Leeds in the early 1930s. He picked up an England cap against
Italy in 1933 and was a first team regular until his move to
Norwich in 1937. He returned to Norwich after the war for a few
games before ending his playing career and spending some time there
as coach.
