With his number three on his chest and his arms raised pointing to the sky,
Williams unloaded his tears on the grass of the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in tribute to his grandfather, one of the key figures for him to dedicate himself to football.

“I think I’m a footballer thanks to my grandfather. He was a good player, scouts from various teams came to see him and he was one of the best players in my town, but injuries slowed him down. I have continued what could have been for him”, added the Nottingham Forest footballer.

“He has traveled all over the world to watch me play football, since I started at Liverpool at the age of six. He never told me that I had done well, because he just wanted me to improve day by day, and that’s why I’m here today. I love him dedicate this match to him, because I know he’s watching me from up there with a lot of pride”.
