Willo could move to the Championship

With Andy Williams returning to Edgar Street here's a reminder of an article that first appeared on Bulls News last February:

Journalist and football punter Steve Claridge has suggested that former Hereford United striker Andy Williams could move to the Championship.

Claridge watched the recent game between Willo's Bristol Rovers and local rivals Cheltenham Town. A few of his thoughts:

The Bristol Rovers striker has a bit of sparkle about him. As he stood underneath that high ball he had one Cheltenham defender in front of him and another behind. Yet he brought the ball under control with a beautiful touch and moved it smartly on to the side. At League One level such moments stand out.

Williams is all about touch, movement and intelligence. Those natural skills, that cannot be taught, mark him out as a player with a future higher up the pyramid.

He demanded attention because he did things with the ball that no one else on the pitch could manage. At times he looked head and shoulders above the rest. He immediately caught the eye with a fantastic first touch, which saw him roll his defender, cut inside another and shoot, and he showed the instinctive side to his game with a great one-two. He cannot have seen his winger when he released the ball inside the Cheltenham full-back but the pass was spot on. It showed he had that little bit extra.
