From John Laidlar's Matchday Updates:

"Alty lose another man at  half time as tannoy announces retirement of Mike Williams through injuries."

[robininstockport]

Yea I read that.

He would have been a massive asset but for injuries.

Good luck in retirement

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

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

[ASMO]

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

[eightiesrobin]

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.
