William Harrison (born 1872) was an Irish-born Welsh international footballer. He was part of the Wales national football team between 1899 and 1901, playing 5 matches. He played his first match on 20 March 1899 against England and his last match on 23 March 1901 against Ireland.[2] At club level, he played for Wrexham. He was the publican of The Turf, the pub which still adjoins Wrexham AFC's Racecourse ground. The Turf being (then but no longer) a country inn, its grounds were used to make the pitch of the Racecourse, and until recently the balcony of The Turf looked over it.
