Career
Williamson was a Ship"s plater working on the River Clyde before he started to play junior football for Kirkintilloch Rob Roy at weekends before signing for English First Division side Blackburn Rovers. Unfortunately, he never fitted in at Ewood Park and he returned to Scotland to sign for Third Lanark. In 1926 Stoke City moved in and persuaded Williamson to sign for them in an attempt to gain an instant return to the Second Division.
Williamson proved to be a shrewd signing by Tom Mather as he displayed his quality in his first season with Stoke winning the Football League Third Division North in 1926-1927.
He was almost and ever present in 1927-1928 missing just two matches as Stoke had a good return to the second tier finishing 5th. In 1931 he left the Victoria Ground and joined Norfolk club Norwich City where he played for two seasons before retiring.
He continued to live in Norwich until his death in 1988 at the age of 87.
