    Re: Ashley Williams: Wales captain announces retirement

    Never rated AW to be honest, poor in the air (THAT goal aside), quite short for a CB, always seemed to be rushed, particularly in the latter years.
    Didn't care for him at all tbh, but that was probably down to the side he played much of his career for.

    Got to say though he was an integral part of that Swansea side that all the pundits used to drool over and as has been said, never let Wales down and played his part in delivering the best Wales tournament performance of all time.

    “That goal” came off the back of his head! He was useless in the air, slow, and a poor tackler. Got away with ‘blocking’, and passing it back and for to his keeper and full backs for a couple of seasons, when teams let you have the ball in your own half!
    He was brutally exposed at Everton and Stoke ...when teams started playing a pressing game and he was called upon to ‘defend’...he is a bit of a joke to some fans on Merseyside.

    My favourite moment was when 20,000 Cardiff fans let him know he wasn’t “even Welsh”...the look on his face was priceless!

    I just hope he never gets near the Welsh team ever again, mind you, he has similar attributes to our recent managers....he makes Giggs and Coleman look like Mother Theresa!
