Williams was born in Bristol, England and served in the British Army during the World War I.[1] He would later immigrate to Canada and in 1924 he would play soccer with Toronto Ulster United in the Inter-City League and later in the National Soccer League.[2] Throughout his tenure with Toronto he would secure the Challenge Trophy in 1925, and the Ontario Cup in 1927.[3] In 1927, he participated in the NSL Championship final where Toronto defeated Montreal Maroons for the title.[4]
He died on September 1, 1929, from cavernous sinus thrombosis after an incident at work where hot asphalt splashed behind his ear causing an infection.[5]
International careerEdit
Williams made his debut for the Canada men's national soccer team on November 8, 1925, against the United States in a friendly match.[6] He made another appearance for Canada on November 6, 1926, against the United States once more.[6]
