William Knight was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Southampton in the years prior to World War I. Knight was born in Toogates, Tamworth and began his career at Walsall, before being spotted by Aston Villa in 1907. He joined Villa as an amateur and spent some time with their nursery club, Stourbridge, . In 1911, he had a trial with Southampton of the Southern League, in which he "shaped up well" and, much against the wishes of the Villa directors, he moved to the south coast in May 1911.
