Ashley Williams & Teddy Bears Friday, 15th Aug 2008 09:02 If you run a fairground stall and see Ashley Williams coming your way then hide quickly..... It is not so much the result of a mis spent youth but more a result of a previous employment that leaves Ashley a predator in the fairground stakes as well as a Championship and International defender. Just twelve months ago, Williams was making his way in the professional game at a League Two club whilst last weekend he made his Championship debut in the same calendar year as he won his first Welsh cap and also made his League Onbe debut whilst winning a League One winners medal in the process. And with all that behind him you could forgive him for not quite believing what has happened to him and looking back on his past life at Drayton Manor. Williams told the Evening Post "I did my time there "I had a few odd jobs, although my main focus was on going to the gym every day and keeping my fitness levels up so that I'd be ready if the chance came to go into full-time football. "Sometimes I do have to pinch myself," he admits. "The quality of forwards in this league is phenomenal," reckons Williams.
