Billy Greulich-Smith

Billy was born in Barnet, North London and Billy moved to Sunderland when he was 10. Playing football from a young age he enjoyed a kick about with his Dad until he was old enough to join a team. Billy is a familiar face at Shildon AFC and had played over 300 games in the time he has been with the club. When asked why he has stayed so long at the club he put it down to the “great people” and the “best fans”. From the age of 16 he signed for Brandon, before moving to Luton and resigning at the age of 17. This was followed by a 2 year stint with Hartlepool , Durham City for half a season before moving to Shildon. He also spent time at Watford, Middlesbrough, and Sunderland when he was growing up.
