Guest Kodes Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Article about young MK Dons player George Williams in today's Observer which is ostensibly about how a break to go to University worked for him after he was let go at 18, as so many are. I gave it a read, thinking of my son who has just started at University, and previously spent a few years at Spurs as a goalie before they let him go. But posting it here because of this player's experience with LJ at Barnsley "Williams looked to be set fair (after first signing on at Barnsley). But then Danny Wilson was sacked as the manager and his replacement, Lee Johnson, did not fancy Williams. He would be frozen out and given a 93-day loan to Barrow of the National League at the beginning of the following season. And yet, when he returned to Barnsley, Johnson turned to him as injuries bit. “He actually apologised to me and said: ‘I got you wrong,’” Williams says." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/15/mk-dons-george-williams-university-football-interview Still young enough as to not be too set in his ways, or ready to admit mistakes. A bit like Karl Robinson in Williams' interview.
