SWINDON Town coach Ady Williams may face a court appearance after his arrest on suspicion of actual bodily harm and threats to kill.

Police have confirmed the 37-year-old reserve team coach was held in custody for 12 hours on Sunday following his arrest at a property in Westlecot Road, Old Town, at 9.45am that morning.

He has since been bailed pending further enquiries and will return to Gablecross police station on December 7.

A spokesman for Swindon Town Football Club said: “The directors and senior management of Swindon Town FC are aware of the potential legal proceedings in respect of Ady Williams, the STFC reserve team coach.

“The board will continue to monitor any developments closely and await the outcome of any proceedings before deciding if any further action, on behalf of the club, is required.

“The board wishes to stress that conduct of any sort that could tarnish the reputation of Swindon Town FC, cannot be condoned and nor will it be tolerated.

“The club will be making no further comment at this stage.”

Former Welsh international and father-of-two Williams joined Town in summer 2006, signed by Dennis Wise and was quickly installed as club captain.

Williams made 28 appearances for Swindon and played a key part in their promotion to League One. His playing career spanned 21 years and he made more than 400 appearances.

A brief stint in temporary charge of Town followed when manager Dennis Wise left the club on October 2006 before paving the way for Paul Sturrock's arrival.

Williams found himself in the dug-out once again, as joint manager alongside Dave Byrne, when Sturrock left for Plymouth in November 2007.

Injury plagued the latter part of Williams’ Town career with a knee ligament injury in February 2007 ultimately ending his playing career. After exploratory surgery and knee cruciate reconstruction, Williams’ days as a player were numbered.

When Maurice Malpas arrived as manager in January this year, Williams was given a permanent coaching role at the club and shortly after the tall centre back called time on his playing career. He is now a coach at the County Ground with his main duties including taking charge of reserve team matches.

9.45am on sunday! So does that mean he was drinking til then or was he sober??

FAO - Lambourn Red

Come join us, come join us, come join us over here!!

Seems like a wise career move..

I much prefer the Boardroom a far better class of cunt over their

Allegedly he spent a night in the cells and has been bailed on an ABH charge... Not sure how accurate this is, so was wondering if it's on anyone elses grapevine

It is said that if drinking effects your day job then you may have a problem.

I wouldn't know about that Paul I haven't had a drink for 2 maybe 3 days now!!  I'm dry.

Yes, but you do drink out of glasses like this:

And he calls himself a Scot ...

I'm not a Scot Paul, I'm half Scottish, a jockney no less.  For this I act in a southern way during the working week, then Friday evening comes round I roll up my Daily Record, stick it in the back pocket, buy an irn bru, stick some vodka in it then go on a 48 hour bender, beating as many Catholics and Protestants and ethnics up (just to get the full effect) then return to work on the Monday morning feeling very much refreshed.

ummm - thats a vase!

Its a Goldfish Bowl surely?

williams should be relieved of his job.i think he will soon enough anyway when the new boss comes in.what does he offer to the club?he is a liabilty it seems.

he has been seen pissed up and abusive in town before.no smoke without fire

Do you model yourself on him?  ;)

Tinkerbell on 123?

Could it be that it has been moved due to him being "high profile" in Swindon?

It's because the assault didn't happen didn't happen in Old Town or even Swindon... It happened somewhere else

No it didn't - he lives in Westcott Place and was arrested there - the assault happened else where and was dealt with by Chippenham Police

What is it that he is aledged to have done then ?

Impersonating a football coach

badly

emphasis on the word was there I think

Abra Kebabra?

who did he beat up then.... his ex mrs?her new fella? his new bit of stuff?her ex?
one of them 4 would take my bet

I hope they sling the fucking book at him (if found guilty of course)

From what i can gather he seems to have gone off the rails a bit since having to retire. He might even need help

the woman he's allegged have to assaulted.was he dating her? she was married to an ex wildcats player.

Now this is fucking interesting. Is it Merlinder Messanger?

It's not difficult to find her on google with the above info. Assuming you aren't joking.

It's not Melinda Messenger...  what you should know is that it's my sister we are discussing here....

It's not Melinda Messenger...  what you should know is that it's my sister we are discussing here....

I like Adi Williams and (as long as it wasn't triseros' sister of course) hope he gave someone a good beating :)

...

Either you're not much good at reading between lines or you haven't read the thread.

what you should know is that it's my sister we are discussing here....

Not being all coy - it's my sister he's charged with assaulting - as far as I'm concerned due process has to take it's course and I don't intend wrecking that by posting too many comments about it on here

probably have ben.but if it stays i reckon he'll get off

i'm intrigued how you and si can miss what i was saying when it seemed so obvious to me?
must be my fault.
i repeat again,i dont care!if triseros is ok with it then fine.
why do i feel you are picking a fight ben? read my posts, its obvious what i was saying surely?
if not, i've already explained.

i suggest we remove this thread in respect of triseros.if it was my sis i wouldn't like it.

probably have ben.but if it stays i reckon he'll get off

you on a wind up?
 i just thought as it was a forum members sis involved,maybe we should leave it.
i'm an older brother and have got a bit defensive of my sister.

i originally suggested that the thread be removed out of respect of triseros,for the reason i gave at the time.

ben.you then brought up that i haven't asked for a thread to be removed and i agreed.then said i thought he'll get off.this meant i think williams will be found not guilty.it has nothing to do with anything on any forum.i did say why i thought this in the thread later on.
 you missed what i was saying for sure.maybe thats my fault by my intentions seem to have been completey missed.
i've been here before with members of this forum, and have to say i do feel i get my opinions seen wrongly.i then fight my corner and get labledd as abusive.

You've got to love drunken posting. Everyone gets so aggitated over nothing in the end :)

I miss Alan Haywards drunken rants the most.

if the thread stays up i think adi williams will be found not guilty.this was my opinion regardless of if the thread stays up or not.not if the thread stays up he will be found not guilty.
fuck me i'm confused now...

nah. ben you are out of order imo.
i'm fucked off now.
i cannot believe what i've said has been so misunderstood.
i thought it looked clear?

The way I see it is this.

If there was a thread about a family member / friend who didn't post on the forum; and I said how I knew them, what was going on, and left it at that. I think I'd be a bit annoyed if someone came along, who didn't have anything to do with the topic, and started saying it should be deleted out of respect of my friend.

That's all I'm saying. If triseros wants stuff removed because it's about his sister then it's up to him, not you. As it is, he's the one who posted that it's about his sister in the first place, and your sudden claim that it should be deleted out of respect starts coming across as if he should want it deleted out of respect.

It's not your sister and you're not involved, so why do you think you should suddenly start saying things should be removed. You're allowed your own opinion on whatever on here, but to try and start censoring other people, on a subject that as far as I know doesn't involve you, is something which annoys me.

Does that sound fair enough?
