'''William "Billy" Milne''' ([[November 24]] [[1895]] – July 1975) was an [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[football (soccer)|football]]er who played for [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], before becoming a long-standing member of the club's backroom staff. |

Born in [[Buckie]], [[Banffshire]], Milne started his career at his hometown club, [[Buckie Thistle F.C.|Buckie Thistle]], although his career was interrupted early on by [[World War I]]. During the war, Milne served with the [[Seaforth Highlanders]] in [[France]] and won the [[Distinguished Conduct Medal]] in 1918. After hostilities ceased, Milne returned to Buckie, and a name for himself as a tireless and enthusiastic wing half (what would today be approximately a [[midfield]] position). |
|||
At the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]] Ergin finished his ranking round with a total of 660 points, which gave him the 23rd seed for the final competition bracket in which he faced [[Nuno Pombo]] in the first round, in which he beat the archer from [[Portugal]] 106-103. In the second round Ergin was not able to win against 10th seed [[Lee Chang-Hwan]] who shot a new Olympic Record of 117 points. Ergin still managed to hit 109 points, but was eliminated.<ref name="beijing">[http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/3/233513.shtml Athlete biography: Yusuf Goktug Ergin], beijing2008.cn, ret: Aug, 19 2008</ref> |

In September 1921 he made the long journey south to join [[London]] side [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]. Milne made his debut for Arsenal away to [[Cardiff City F.C.|Cardiff City]] on [[December 27]], [[1921]], but only played another four games that season. However, the following season he became an established regular in the Arsenal side, as a right half, and continued to play there for another four seasons. However, after the arrival of [[Alf Baker]] he was dropped; he was a bit-part player for the next few seasons, but in a match against [[Huddersfield Town A.F.C.|Huddersfield Town]] on [[April 2]], [[1927]] he broke his [[leg]] and his playing career was effectively finished. In all he played 124 times for Arsenal, scoring three goals. |
|||
Milne's tenaciousness and high levels of fitness led Arsenal manager [[Herbert Chapman]] to retain Milne's services, appointing him as assistant [[athletic trainer|trainer]] to [[Tom Whittaker (footballer)|Tom Whittaker]]. During [[World War II]] he was stationed as an [[Air Raid Precautions|ARP]] warden at [[Arsenal Stadium|Highbury]] and was present the night the stadium was bombed with [[incendiary device]]s; Milne helped put out the resulting fire and saved the stadium from even more serious damage. |
|||
Milne continued to hold the assistant trainer's position until Whittaker himself became Arsenal manager in 1947, upon which Milne became first-team trainer, and later club [[physiotherapist]]; he also served the [[England national football team|England team]] in a similar capacity. He fully retired in 1960 and was succeeded by [[Bertie Mee]], who would later become Arsenal's [[the Double|Double]]-winning manager. He died in 1975, at the age of 79. |
