William Thomas Briggs (April 6, 1925 – April 19, 2000) was a Canadian football player who played for the Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts. He won the Grey Cup with the Argos in 1947 before moving to Edmonton, where he had two more Grey Cup wins in 1955 and 1957. Briggs was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is often confused with another football player, William John Brigg, who played for the University of Iowa. After retiring from football, Bill pursued several careers, among them a salesman for McLaren Electronics, a master electrician and a minister with the United Church. He held the position of assistant minister at St. Andrews Wesley Church in Vancouver, B.C. for several years. He died at a hospice in Penticton, British Columbia in 2000.
