Bio
Recruited from McKinnon, Ken Williams was a promising wingman who broke into the Collingwood senior side during the 1940 season. He managed 12 games in his solitary year at Victoria Park, holding his place in a competitive lineup that eventually finished as runners-up to Melbourne. While he showed potential as a nimble outside mover who could drift forward, his VFL career was abruptly curtailed by the escalation of World War II, with his service in the RAAF effectively ending his time at the top level after just one campaign.
