Victor "Vic" Williams (born October 27, 1901 in Bordesley Green , Birmingham , † 1957 ) was an English football player .

Career

Williams played in junior football for the Bordesley Green- based club Bolton Unity and then for the Redditch- based Arrow Working Men's Club , before playing for Redditch FC in the Birmingham & District League from 1924 . In April 1925 he moved to first division Sheffield United for a transfer fee of £ 150 , just a few weeks earlier his teammate Harry Green had also gone the same way. In his last game for Redditch, the right wing runner, characterized as a "tireless worker", won the Birmingham Senior Cup with a 1-0 win over Cradley Heath .

To his only three competitive appearances for the first team from Sheffield came Williams, who otherwise played in the reserve team, during the 1926/27 season . Williams made his debut in a 2-2 draw against Burnley FC on October 2 on the right wing runner position, in which he replaced Jimmy Waugh . Presented in a press report as an "stranger", he had problems guarding Burnley's far left, Louis Page . A week later he was back in a 3-0 away defeat at Cardiff City . Williams played his third and last appearance on New Year's Day 1927 as a replacement for Tommy Boyle at Old Trafford against Manchester United , the game ended in a 5-0 defeat. In the summer of 1928 he left Sheffield and returned to Redditch FC.
