Walter Samuel Corbett (26 November 1880 – 23 November 1960), nicknamed "Watty", was an English footballer and member of the United Kingdom team[1] which won the gold medal in the 1908 Summer Olympics.[2]
Corbett, born in Wellington, Shropshire,[2] arrived from Bournbrook FC to play for Aston Villa from 1904–05 to 1906–07 making 13 appearances before moving on to Birmingham.[3] There, full back Corbett played 12 times in his first season.[4]
In 1908 he was a member of the full England squad who toured Europe for the first time, making three appearances in the space of seven days against Austria, Hungary and Bohemia; all three matches resulted in comfortable victories for England.
