Volunteers are the lifeblood of football clubs all over the country.

From the club administrators that occasionally run the boundary, to the parent who flips the snags on game day and everyone in between, volunteers are part of football's DNA.

So, in national volunteer week it's only fitting we recognise a Sydney Swans stalwart, the one and only Kenny Williams.

At 88 years young, Williams, who was born in South Melbourne, has been with the red and whites every step of the way – he even attended the 1933 Grand Final as a four-year-old.

When South Melbourne relocated to Sydney in 1982, Williams was the happiest person in Sydney and it didn’t take him long to take up a position with the Club.

"They were a great side, that first side that came to Sydney," Williams said, who took on the role of trainer.

"I got mixed up with them and I've been with them ever since.

"It's the best thing in my life."

As age caught up with Williams’ legs, his big heart never wavered and in 1996 he was invited by then-coach Rodney Eade to lead the Club song in victory.

The sight of his mop of grey hair and arms waving feverishly is something Swans fans have gotten used to over the years.

"It's great, just like going to heaven, I love doing it," Williams said of leading the team song.

Williams’ wife Yvonne and extended family have also played a large role over the years, hosting myriad dinners for the Club’s new recruits and seasoned veterans.

It’s his family values and passion for the Club that make Kenny Williams one of a kind.

Until you lead us in song next time Kenny, from everyone at the Sydney Swans thanks for all of the support over the years.
