Patrick Gerald Willdigg (born 5 June 1932) was an English footballer who was signed to Port Vale from 1950 to 1956. He later played for Northwich Victoria.

Career[edit]

Willdigg was signed to Stoke City, before crossing the Potteries divide to join Port Vale in May 1950.[1] He made his Second Division debut at Vale Park in a 1–1 draw with Liverpool on 3 December 1955, and also played in the 2–0 defeat at Doncaster Rovers seven days later.[1] He never played another game for the "Valiants" though, and was instead transferred to Northwich Victoria by manager Freddie Steele in the summer of 1956.[1]
