Richard Williams (15 December 1905 – 27 May 1983) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Reading and Stoke City.[1]
Williams played for Jarrow before being spotted by scouts from Stoke City in 1926.[1] It took him until the 1928–29 season before he could displace Bob Dixon.[1] He played in 36 matches that season and then 24 in 1929–30 but he lost his place to Norman Lewis.[1] He then spent a season at Reading and Chester.
