In the lead up to the 2017 Guernsey Presentation and Hall of Fame Induction Dinner we take a look through the history books.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will take a retrospective look at our current Hall of Fame members and the items already on the Heritage List.
Hall of Fame
Paul Williams
Dual Club best and fairest winner Paul Williams was inducted into the Sydney Swans Hall of Fame in 2013.
Williams, who came to the Sydney Swans after 189 games with Collingwood between 1991 and 2000, won the Swans’ Club Champion award in his first two seasons (2001-2002), was named All Australian in 2003 and played a vital role in the 2005 premiership win.
Known for his link play out of defence, Williams’ creativity, pace and football nouse also gave the Swans an extra edge around the packs they had been lacking in the previous seasons before his arrival.
Sadly, Williams was forced into retirement after he broke a collarbone early in 2006.

Heritage List
Nick Davis' Four Last Quarter Goals
Listing: 2012
Nick Davis played for the Club from 2003 to 2008. In his career he kicked 150 goals and played 97 games.
During the three-quarter-time break of our semi-final match against Geelong in 2005, it looked like the Swans' season was all but over.
Then in the fourth quarter, Nick Davis kicked four goals, including the spectacular match winning goal in the dying seconds, which ensured our season would continue, culminating in the 2005 premiership.
