William Henry Getliff (1869–1955) was an English footballer who played as a forward. Born in Shustoke Getliff was sometimes referred to as 'Catliff', 'Gatliffe', 'Getliffe' and 'Getcliffe' in differing reports and documents. He was an amateur player playing for Darnall in Sheffield when he was spotted by Sheffield United and offered a professional contract. Getliff duly signed for the club but rejected professional terms, preferring to remain as an amateur and continue teaching. As such he made infrequent appearances, usually in friendly games. His one competitive fixture came in January 1881 when he played in an FA Cup first round fixture against Notts County.
