William John Landers, known as Bill, lived from 26 April 1901 to 22 December 1958 and was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played at club level with Rock Street and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team, usually as a forward. He was part of two All-Ireland-winning teams and was on the losing side in the 1923 All-Ireland final. His inter-county career was interrupted by his emigration to the United States in 1925, but after returning in 1932 he regained his Kerry place at once and captained the Kerry team that toured North America in 1933. He was one of three brothers who between them won 12 All-Ireland medals, and he died of a heart attack in 1958.
