Interstate Football
During his career as a player Fos Williams represented South Australia on 34 occasions in Interstate matches and was captain of the state from 1954-1958. Williams was also the coach of the South Australian team from 1955–58, from 1960–66 and again in 1968 and 1969. During his time as state coach, Williams was instrumental in instilling the belief in his players that their usual tormentors, Victoria, were no better than they were and it all culminated in the 1963 with a 7 point win over the Big V at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), their first win in Melbourne since 1926.
Fos Williams was named in the 'Sporting Life' Team of the Year in both 1950 and 1951. On both occasions he was selected in the Forward pocket.

Famous quotes containing the words interstate and/or football:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
