He also revealed that he didn't start out as a goalkeeper, and only moved into goal around age 11.
"When I started, I was in-field, I was a striker and towards maybe [ages] 11, 12, 13, is when I started taking goalkeeping more serious," says Williams.
In terms of his first pair of boots, Williams recalled a classic adidas pair, but wasn't exactly sure if they were his actual first ever football boots:
"Probably the Argentina's," says a gleaming Williams, who then remembered that his first pair might have been a cheap pair from a local store.
Williams revealed his first ever gloves were from Mitre, bought for him by his brother, around the ages he started taking the goalkeeping position more seriously.
