Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Ballarat, Bert Williams was one of many regional footballers who ventured to the capital to test themselves in the fledgling VFL competition at the turn of the century. Arriving at the Lake Oval for the 1900 season, he managed to break into the senior side midway through the year, making seven appearances and slotting a solitary goal during a campaign where South Melbourne finished sixth on the ladder. His tenure at the elite level was brief, as he featured only in that single season before moving on, leaving a small footprint in the club's history as a representative during the Boer War era.
