The tactic worked well, and for the start of the 1954--55 the first-team began to use the tactic, with Don Revie as the deep-lying forward. As a result the tactic became known as the Revie Plan. On occasions when Revie was unavailable Williamson played the role, but made only nine appearances, and was transferred to Blackburn at the end of the season. He did not make much of an impact at Blackburn, making only nine appearances, in which he scored three goals.
