William Eppy was a U.S. soccer midfielder who earned one cap with the U.S. national team in 1957.
Club career
Eppy played with St. Louis Kutis S.C. during the mid-1950s when they were a dominant U.S. team, winning the 1957 Amateur Cup and National Challenge Cup.{{Cite web |url=http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/saintlouis.html |title=History of Soccer in St. Louis |access-date=2007-11-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091102074420/http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/saintlouis.html |archive-date=2009-11-02 |url-status=dead }} He was the assistant coach for Kutis when it won the 1971 National Amateur Cup and was inducted into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame in 1985.{{Cite web |url=http://eteamz.active.com/stlsoccerhalloffame/news/index.cfm?cat=466590 |title=St. Louis Soccer HOF: Hall of Fame Members |access-date=2007-11-06 |archive-date=2012-07-08 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708180315/http://eteamz.active.com/stlsoccerhalloffame/news/index.cfm?cat=466590 |url-status=dead }}
International career
After Kutis won the 1957 National Cup, the US Football Association decided to call up the entire team to represent the U.S. in two World Cup qualification games. As a result, Eppy earned one cap with the U.S. national team in a June 22, 1957 loss to Canada.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesu/usa-intres-det69.html USA - Details of International Matches 1885-1969] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113210650/http://rsssf.com/tablesu/usa-intres-det69.html |date=2010-01-13 }}
Eppy was also on the roster of the U.S. Olympic soccer team which failed to qualify for the 1964 Summer Olympics.
