Paul Williams

Born in Stratford, East London, Williams was signed by First Division Charlton Athletic from non-league Woodford Town in 1987. Where he was top goal scorer for two successive seasons. This prompted Ron Atkinson to spend nearly a million pounds to bring the Londoner to Sheffield Wednesday in 1990, where he enjoyed a productive partnership with David Hirst. That season he won a League Cup medal at Wembley Stadium when Wednesday defeated Manchester United 1–0. In the same season, Wednesday achieved promotion back to the First Division. Williams moved back to London with Crystal Palace in 1992, in a swap deal involving Mark Bright. In season 1993–94 he won a Football League First Division (second tier) winners medal with Crystal Palace and was second top goal scorer behind Chris Armstrong. After loans with Sunderland and Birmingham City he returned to Charlton Athletic, followed by a few months at Torquay United before ending his league career with Southend United in 1998, due to injuries. From there, Williams went on to complete two very successful years playing and coaching at Canvey Island. While there, the club gained consecutive promotions and won two league Cups. His professional career ended in late 2000 when he announced his retirement.

Williams continued coaching at the Charlton and Crystal Palace youth academies, before moving to South Florida in 2012, where he was the director of the Florida Fire Juniors who were affiliated with MLS team Chicago Fire, and he was the coach for several teams in the Naples area like Azzurri Storm, who are affiliated with Orlando City. He also runs personalized trainings in a program called "Premier Soccer Academy", and was the head coach of Seacrest Country Day School's soccer team.
