From John Laidlar's Matchday Updates:
"Alty lose another man at half time as tannoy announces retirement of Mike Williams through injuries."
-
Yea I read that.
He would have been a massive asset but for injuries.
Good luck in retirement
-
A shame, but not entirely surprising.
Presumably this gives us a bit of leeway, budget-wise to bring in another player, so that isn't a bad thing.
I feel sorry for Mike Williams, who looked to be making a great start to life at Alty before sustaining that terrible injury at Leamington.
-
All that time and money..... oh well
-
Shame wish him all the best .

Sorry Stumpy, that is crass.
All the best Mike for the future. Very sad that this injury has ended his career and credit to Alty for supporting him.

I'm not sure it is. Were you an employer (a small and not wealthy employer at that), would you really pay someone for a whole year while they were off sick? I think Mike got treated far better than could be expected. I'm sorry he's had to retire, but come on people, he only played 6 games for the club.

The football club obviously have a policy of looking after players with bad injuries. Mike and Buzz being recent examples.
I put it to you that players who are blatenly unfit and don't seem bothered about it are more of a drain on the clubs resources
-
You talk as if he was a club legend, when he played 6 games. Like I say, it's sad for the guy, but it happens and it's a financial burden lifted.

Can't believe these two comments.
Glad they don't employ me.
All the best for the future Mike.
This is why Alty is a great club.
They look after their players.
If they have played two hundred games, or just six.
-
Good luck Mike in your retirement , you were dam unlucky and were quality when you played ... as for the two ignorant short sighted eejits REALLY how insensitive can to dickheads be the mans career has just ended in a truly awful way please don't take up bereavement counselling
-

-
Best wishes Mike in your future career, you have been very unlucky with the injuries after making a superb start to your Alty career. Good luck.
-

This must be one of the most crass and classless posts on here in many a moon
-
Good luck Mike , football can be cruel
-
quality player....sincerely wish him all the best...think we'd have come close to winning the league last season had he not got injured

It is very sad news for Mike
But we have to deal with the reality of how it effects us, in truth he was average at best and should never been kept on for this season after such a serious injury - it was obvious to us all that he was never going to get back to the required level
Sad news for Mike, but best for all concerned
-
Best of luck Mike, your future health is more important than football.
-
Got a bad injury play for Harriers against Luton that was the start of it came back but never the same player unfortunatley.I wish him all the best a wholehearted player
-
Good Luck Mike,in your new Career.
Thanks for all you did at Alty.
-
Sad news for the guy, wish him well. Be interested to see who we line up to replace him in the squad. I think he was kept on more in hope than expectation that he'd be up to the grade but now a sad final line has been drawn under it we need to examine who our 3rd/4th centre half will be. Ideally someone of Mike William's ilk who can play left/right back as weel to avoid having to drag Leather away from centre back.
Cult, could we start an Alty XI of players who've Alty career's have been cut short fairly early on in the piece. I'm sure I remember for starter a guy called Dave Serella who was meant to be quite a good player but suffered a serious knee injury about 25 minutes into his debut (and in the 80's a cruciate ligament injury really was career ending compared to now).

Brendan Burke would fit quite nicely into this category.
-
Gutting for him to overcome that injury to be hit by something unrelated, especially to have to stop playing at 28. All the best for the future.
-
Very sorry for Mike Williams. He looked real quality at the start of last season and it is terrible for him to have to quit so young - good luck in the future Mike.

Ballers,
There's definitely some potential as regards your aforementioned suggestion.
However, I don't think that it would be fair to follow up on that idea here and hijack a thread that's devoted to Mike Williams' premature retirement.
You start a brand new thread on that topic and I'll be glad to contribute.
