Its Official ... Gary Williamson to coach Cygnet in 2010
Former Cygnet coach and player Gary Williamson has been appointed senior coach for the 2010 season.
Gary has been involved in football as a coach, player and administrator for 28 years. Gary, originally from Shepparton in country Victoria, played 195 games in the TFL with New Norfolk and Clarence and won a TFL Premiership in 1982. Gary won the William Leitch Medal in 1981 and represented the State 13 times.
Gary guided Cygnet to 3 consecutive premierships; 4 in total when the 1994 flag is included.
In 2009 he was inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame .. beside such greats as Peter Hudson and Darryl Baldock.
Gary is considered to be one of Cygnet's most "favourite sons" and was coaxed out of retirement to coach the Port to 3 consecutive flags in 2002, 2003 & 2004. This is a feat that may take a long time to ever be repeated.
Gary was also playing coach of Cygnet's 1994 Premiership side. Gary was renown as being an incredibly tough and fit player, as well as a master tactician as coach. Gary is famous for his pre-match planning and his homework of the opposition. His ability to inspire players with his magnificent speeches is legendary.
The Cygnet Football Club welcomes Gary back to the club and looks forward to training and playing under his leadership during the coming season.
