Frederick Arthur "Fred" Williams (15 April 1918 – 1994) was an English professional footballer who played as a full back for Southampton in the period immediately prior to the Second World War. ==Football career== Williams was born in Hucknall, near Nottingham, and worked as a coalminer before moving to the south coast in 1937 to join Southampton's nursery side. He signed a professional contract in May 1938. Described as "a tough tackling defender", he "made rapid progress through the ranks" and was promoted to the first team for the start of the 1938–39 season.〔 His first-team debut came in a 2–1 Football League Second Division defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on 27 August 1938 and he retained his place at right-back until an ankle injury in January ruled him out for the rest of the season. Williams played once at the start of the next season, before league football was suspended. On the outbreak of the Second World War, Williams returned to Nottinghamshire and made guest appearances for Mansfield Town and Liverpool, for whom he made four appearances in 1942–43. Following the war, he joined Stockport County but left them in 1947 without having played a league game.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Williams (footballer, born 1918)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
