Gareth Williams 1941-2018.

Gareth Williams

I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this picture of Gareth Williams was taken as he led the team out for the match which stands out to me as the most memorable he played for the club. It was a Fourth Round FA Cup game in front of a crowd of 37,000 at Ninian Park against Manchester City in February 1967.
On a filthy rain sodden day, Williams continuously drove City forward after they had fallen behind courtesy of a Graham Coldrick own goal and it was entirely fitting that it was captain Williams who fired home an equaliser to give his side a 1-1 draw which was the very least they deserved on a day when the visitors were grateful to take us back to Maine Road for a reply four days later that they won 3-1.
