Career
Used mostly on the wing or half forward flanks, Williams spent 13 years at Hawthorn, after coming to the club from Canterbury. His job as a milk carter meant he didn"t feature at all in the 1933 VFL season, as his employers didn"t want him playing football. He was, however, a regular fixture in the side from 1935, until his retirement in 1944.
Williams was Hawthorn"s second leading goal-kicker in 1940, with 23 goals, just two behind Albert Naismith.
He finished second in the goal-kicking again in the 1943 season, which he had spent as captain. Only a one-point loss in the final round of the home and away season prevented him from having the distinction of captaining the first every Hawthorn team to compete in finals football.
