Williams: I felt angry and embarrassed about online abuse

Honestly, who goes to someone's Twitter to abuse them like that? Especially a kid.

No real fan would do that, it's fucking ridiculous.

People go over the top about young players, and players in general, on social media. A good run and shot and they're the new Michael Owen, a bad game and they're utter shite. 

Lot of jealousy out there and these young lads don't deserve the shit they get.

Young footballers in general have come on massively in the attitude stakes, the John Terries and Rio Ferdinands of this world helped mould a generation of flash harries, falling out of clubs at 5am with birds on each arm, and that stoked a lot of resentment in the copy of Nuts under the bed & Kleenex brigade working in Adli. 

But this generation are super professional by and large, athletes and they should be supported every step of their career.

They should be supported even if they are falling out of nightclubs. The clubs should be trying to understand why and help them stop it - obviously there has to be a line, but you've got to try and help them. It's part of their football education. It's the most natural thing in the world for a young kid to get out and have a ball with their mates. They never really get the chance to do it like the rest of us (and all their mates), so it's just a natural thing. It must be really difficult being a footballer because of the expectations in every sense. And they're kids. And kids often living away from home on their own. Then some twat gets on his phone and abuses him because he's not Trent? They should be volleyed everywhere. 

Attention seeking little twat. Never rated him.
