Was thinking that, and what a life experience for a couple of years as your career winds down, one last payday, different country and culture. Good luck to the fella.

Good luck to the fella. His parents are American, or at least part American. Pretty sure he was born in Germany as one of them was in the forces. Perhaps they are back in the states and he sees it as a chance to re-unite. I always rated Del. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure though feels a lifetime ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good guy, met him a few times up Park Street on a Saturday. He'd always be sober and I would be pissed as a fart, even still he always had time for a quick chat and was ever friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he’d have been worth his weight in gold this year with all the LCB and LB problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Blimey from Lancashire to California that’s a gear change. It certainly beats the inevitable slide down into L1 & L2 as his career winds up whereas he can have a good 5 years as a pro athlete living the LA lifestyle. Very smart.

Offside Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I always thought he was a good player and was sorry to see him go. He seemed to have a good attitude too. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolboy_06 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Top player for us back in the day, never recall him ever letting us down. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I thought he struggled the most out of our league winning squad when being promoted but was still young & needed time to adjust. He’s ended up being a solid championship player, so he’s done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 One of the unsung heroes of our promotion season. Good luck to him in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at the moment in the current injury situation he might, but longer term I'd hope we'd be after players with more ability than Williams. Great move for him though. For players like him who probably aren't quite good enough for the Prem, a move like that is a great idea. Similar to Connor Goldson at Rangers - he will make himself a hero when (in all likelihood) they win the league in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
