Williamstown welcomes rare piece of Club history

July 13, 2026
The latest addition to the archives of the Williamstown Football Club is an extremely rare 1907 premiership medallion awarded to the Club's president of the time, Robert 'Bob' Ferguson, by the VFA. 

By Gerard Drew

The medallion has been generously donated to the Club by Bob Ferguson’s grandson, Ian Ferguson, of Pottsville NSW.  

Bob Ferguson is shown in the attached team photo in the middle of the second row from the front, wearing a suit and holding a football which is still in the possession of the Club and is located in the display case in the foyer of the WL Floyd Pavilion at the ground where the medallion will shortly be placed.  

The Club is indebted to Ian for the very generous donation of his grandfather’s medal.
