Re: Ashley Williams: Wales captain announces retirement

Whilst he has been declining for some time surprised he could have got a short term contract and potentially been part of the euros where are short on experience in that area. Surprised someone like Ledley hasn't busted a gut to get a team as well.

I think there's a chance Joe might end up playing in Australia again - as for Ashley Williams, I know he played for the wrong teams (jacks and wurzels), but he was a mainstay of the Welsh team and was another who barely missed a call up for us, I hope he has a happy retirement.

Absolutely, that headed equaliser against Belgium will be part of Welsh football folk lore and he was a great servant for the Welsh side

Re: Ashley Williams: Wales captain announces retirement

For someone that has represented Bristol C I actually quite like the guy.

A good professional and a good CB and captain for Wales. Part of one of the best Welsh teams I'll see.

That's it, don't think he did well for anyone else....

All the best to the guy.

He's too old and too slow. If he was a classy midfielder who could sit back and spread it around or an experienced centre forward who could always find space and finish, fair enough. But an old centre back whose legs are gone and who's mistake-prone is just a liability.

Oops...sorry I’m late !

Good riddance....only played for Wales because he figured he didn’t have a ‘cat in hells chance’ of getting an England cap.
Selfishly denied (86 times) WELSH players caps for their country, just to satisfy his own ego.
Average player....below average human being. He’s retired...but I bet he’ll still be playing away.

Re: Ashley Williams: Wales captain announces retirement

We could do with another one of him coming through for Wales....he was also a pivotal part of the jacks rise and cost them peanuts. I wondered why Dave Jones never got him first as he had connections at Stockport and we were a league or two higher I think when he signed

Must try harder.
