About Billy McCullough

William James McCullough was a Northern Irish footballer who made more than 250 appearances for Arsenal in the Football League and was capped 10 times for Northern Ireland. McCullough became known for his consistency and fitness – he wore the No. 3 shirt for Arsenal for the next six seasons, missing only a handful of matches. McCullough won his first cap for Northern Ireland in a friendly against Italy on 25 April 1961, which Northern Ireland lost 3-2. Although Arsenal had reached third place in his first season at the club, for the rest of his career in the side the club dwelled in mid-table and never challenged for honours.
