year out of the game. Coach of South Adelaide (1960) After spending a year out of the game following his retirement as a player, Fos Williams looked to become reinvolved in league football. Williams re-entry into league football as a non-playing coach began when he took over South Adelaide in 1960. Unfortunately for both South Adelaide and Williams he could do little with the underperforming Panthers and the club finished seventh with only three wins in his sole season in charge. Return to Port Adelaide as coach (1962–1973) Williams returned to Alberton in 1962 as non-playing coach taking over from Geof Motley, who stayed on as team captain. Williams once again led Port Adelaide to premierships in 1962. The Port Adelaide Football Club's creed was written and spoken for the first time in 1962 by Fos Williams. Port Adelaide would win back-to-back premierships in 1963. This would mean that Port Adelaide had won 8 of the last 10 premierships and the SANFL would subsequently introduce the neighbouring Woodville Woodpeckers in an effort, at least partially, to weaken Port Adelaide's dominance. The most tangible impact of this change would be Malcolm Blight, a Port supporter in his youth, falling out of the Port Adelaide zone into Woodville's. Port Adelaide made the 1964 SANFL Grand Final but lost to South Adelaide in what remains their most recent premiership. Port Adelaide won the 1965 SANFL Grand Final defeating Sturt in front of 62,543 spectators which is still the record crowd for a sporting event at Adelaide Oval. Sturt defeated Port Adelaide in the following three SANFL Grand Finals in 1966,1967,1968. Port Adelaide missed the SANFL finals for the first and only time in 1969 with Fos Williams as coach. Port Adelaide finished minor premiers in 1970 but lost the preliminary final to Glenelg by 18 points. Port Adelaide would lose the 1971 SANFL Grand Final to that year's minor premiers North Adelaide. In a repeat of the previous year's decider North Adelaide would beat Port in the 1972 SANFL Grand Final and would go on to beat Carlton for the 1972 Championship of Australia. Fos Williams continued to coach Port Adelaide until the end of the 1973 season when they finished fifth. During his 21 seasons at the helm of the Port Adelaide, the club competed in twenty finals series (missing only in 1969), sixteen Grand Finals and had won nine premierships. At
