Face of the future with no fear to the face coming to an end.
As I play in my 22nd season, more than ever I’ve started to look back at where it all began.
At the age of 18, I had already made my football league debut, scored my first league goal and had started my journey as a professional footballer. After a man of the match performance versus Holland for Wales and the words of Ian rush ringing in my ears “Marc you will be worth millions”
A call up to the Welsh under 21’s capped with a brace against Israel and I was now on the map. The magazine I grew up buying every month ‘FourFourTwo’ published this article and there I was…. Living the dream.
The confidence grew, the hype gave me an ego, the results gave me a drive to want more. 17 goals in 21 games for Wrexham under Dean Saunders gave me the platform… until disaster struck on February 28th 2009.
At 38, I now have the insight, knowledge, experience to be able to cope with the pressures and demands of professional sport. Unfortunately, it’s too late. I wish the young Marc Williams in the magazine was equipped ready to face professional sport and I genuinely believe the outcome may have been different.
Today, I’m privileged to share my story and experiences in dressing rooms all over the world.
I’ve chased the highs my whole career and unfortunately hit some excruciating lows. My highs now come from watching young talent improve, develop and build confidence that they didn’t realise existed.
My coaching is a release, my safe place with no politics or opinions. I watch players laugh, smile, work hard and dream of one day reaching the top. We celebrate big moments together, little break throughs and there’s certainly something special about that.
