Stats
Bio
Arriving at Hawthorn with a glowing resume from the SANFL, Wally Williamson was a premiership captain and best-and-fairest winner with West Torrens before crossing the border. The versatile utility, who was equally adept playing on the ball or in defence, commanded such immediate respect at Glenferrie Oval that he was appointed vice-captain for the 1934 season despite being a debutant at the club. His stint in the VFL was limited to a single difficult campaign where the Hawks managed just a solitary win during his 12 appearances, prompting him to return to South Australia the following year to resume his career as a state representative and West Torrens great.
