Stats
Bio
A stalwart of the Richmond Football Club during its final years in the VFA, Charles Williams was a defensive workhorse who amassed over 100 games for the Tigers before their admission to the VFL. A local product born in Richmond, he established himself as a reliable backman who rarely ventured forward, recording just two goals across six seasons of VFA football. Williams earned his place in history as a member of Richmond's inaugural VFL squad in 1908, tasked with providing veteran stability to the side as they stepped up to the elite competition. However, the 27-year-old found the pace of the new league difficult to maintain and made just three senior appearances before departing midway through the season to finish his career with Preston.
