William WIlton was Glasgow Rangers' first ever manager, serving the club from 1899 to 1920. He served the club in a number of roles but while manager, the club won 8 league titles, a scottish cup and several more minor trophies. Of note, he managed to guide Rangers through a full season winning every match one year. No other team has accomplished this in Scottish history. Although few Rangers fans remember his team, he will always be remembered in Rangers folklore as the man who won every match for a full season. He died in a boating accident in 1920, having created a team that would become the dominant force in Scottish football for some time to come, leaving the club in excellent shape.
