One of two "B Williamson"s on Leeds' books in the mid-1960s -
and both were keepers. Apart from his early career at Gateshead and
Crewe, Brian Williamson operated as a reserve keeper, and played
very few first-team games.
Peter Young says: i am brians son inlaw brian now lives in erina
new south wales australia.from what i have been told the reason
brian played very few first team games was because of one
g.sprake,and on one occassion after brian had been playing in the
first team when sprake was injured and returned to the top team the
fans booed for the return of brian.if you would like more info on
brian you can contact me and i will pass it on.
Karen Williamson says: Hello! I am Karen Williamson Brian's
eldest daughter. My dad's saddest time was the year he had to give
soccer away due to an injury. Soccer was my dad's life as well his
family, he loves to train the young ones and watch them grow into
good players but had to give that up also due to injury. I am very
proud of my dad. He has three grandchildren Jamie 10, Ashley 5 and
Courtney 1 year old.
Ian says: Brian Williamson was one of the most acrobatic of
keepers. I remember a famous photograph of him 'flying through' the
air with both his hands on the ball. One of his claims to fame is
that he was the Crewe keeper when they went down 13-2 to Spurs in
the FA Cup. And that was in a replay. They drew in the first match
at Crewe!
Jessica says: Hello everyone im Brian and Anne Williamsons
Niece. I live in Woodlesford Leeds in the uk. I havent seen them in
ages but have heard that Uncle Brian played for Leeds. Now when
people ask me what my claim to fame is its that my uncle used to
play for leeds united. All my love to you all in Australia from
Jessica
