Biography:
A "brainy player" and "keen tackler" Walter Brown initially featured as an inside-forward, a position in which he played in Glenavon's 1-0 Irish Cup Final defeat by Glentoran in 1921. Brown would later earn international recognition at right-back. In three appearances for the Irish League he played at inside-right, left-back and right-back.

Comments
The only source I have to hand detailing W.G. Brown's firstname is Dean Hayes' recent "Northern Ireland International Facts" book.
I will look into this further, but given your source, I would say you are a more reliable than Hayes!
This also gives him as Walter Brown (not William).
