William Middleton Grant (born 14 November 1904, date of death 24 September 1994) was a Scottish professional footballer. He spent eight years at Blackpool in the early 1900s, making over 200 Football League appearances for the club. He played as a defender.
William Middleton Grant retired from professional football before his death in 1994.
He was not still playing when he died. I guess the semantics of the sentence ending with "in 1994" made the AI draw conclusion that the statement says he retired then due to its limitations.
