William 'Billy' Gent (19 June 1879 - 7 July 1957)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A rover from Essendon Association, Gent was noted for his bad behaviour on the field. In 1904 he received a 20-game suspension for striking numerous Fitzroy players, while in 1907 he was suspended for life by the league after another incident. His expulsion was lifted after seven games but he retired anyway in 1908.
