Alexander Leonard Williams (18 October 1898 â 13 June 1972) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.
Born in Middlemarch, Williams was a solidlyâÂÂbuilt Otago forward, noted for his line out abilities.
Williams played for Kaikorai and represented the All Blacks in nine uncapped matches, four of which came on a tour of New South Wales in 1922, and reportedly came close to selection for their 1924âÂÂ25 northern hemisphere tour. His career was ended by a serious leg injury suffered in a club fixture in 1925.
After retiring as a player, Williams served for many years on the Kaikorai committee, including a stint as president, and was also an administrator with the Otago Rugby Football Union.
