William Evans

William Addams Williams Evans (September 1853 – 23 April 1919) was a Welsh churchman who played for the Wales national football team, in the first two international matches in 1876 and 1877 before a long career as a Church of England minister.

Early life and education Evans was born in Usk, Monmouthshire, the son of the local vicar and the grandson of William Addams Williams of Llangibby Castle, the County Magistrate for Monmouthshire, after whom he was named. After completing his education at Shrewsbury School, Evans went up to St John's College, Oxford in 1872. in 1886, where he remained until his death in 1919.

Evans was the only player from South Wales Evans played at right back and acquitted himself well, with the match report commenting: "Evans and Kenrick, the backs, played splendidly for Wales".

The return match came on 5 March 1877 at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham, with Evans retaining his place in defence. The Scots were again victorious, winning 2–0.
