Walter George "Wal" Williams (21 January 1904 – 21 August 1982) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Williams was born in Scoresby, Victoria in 1904 and commenced his football career at Box Hill. When Hawthorn joined the VFL for the 1925 VFL season, Williams was recruited to the club.[2] He made his debut in round 2 and played four games before being suspended for the rest of the season for abusing an umpire.[3] He played regularly in 1926 and the first game of 1927 before being dropped from the team.
In December 1927 he married Mary McPherson Crombie and they lived in Myrtleford before moving to Albury, where they lived until Williams' death in 1982.
