Gary W.C. Williams is a former award winning Canadian Football League player.
A graduate of the Toronto Parkdale Lions junior program, Williams played 13 games for the Toronto Argonauts in 1957. He rushed once for 2 yards, and caught 1 pass for a touchdown. It was his 72 punt returns for 424 yards (a 5.9 yards average) that won him the Gruen Trophy as the Eastern Conference (the Big Four) rookie of the year.[1] This was when the trophy was awarded only to Canadian players. He was cut during the 1958 training camp, playing only 1 year.
