The first European footballer to play for an English football club is generally recognized as the Scottish player, William "Billy" McNeill, who joined Celtic in 1959. However, if considering players from outside the British Isles, the Hungarian forward, József Szendrei, is often cited as the first non-British European to play in England when he joined West Ham United in 1906. The distinction can depend on the specific context of "European" in relation to nationality.
