Female Focus: Maddie Williams (Llanfairfechan Ladies FC)
Full Name
Maddie Roseanna Williams
Date of Birth
12th January 1996
First football memory
Being the only girl playing for the junior boys U7s.
Football idol
Common answer I can imagine but it’s got to be David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. Especially when they both played for United, Beckham was the reason I supported them. One of the reasons I always try and grab the number 7 as well.
Position
CAM
Most memorable game played in
Definitely cap for Wales. But I’ll never forget playing any game against Bethel as a junior, always tough but exciting.
Biggest highlight of football career so far
Honour getting scouted for Wales at the age of 15. Having a 5 year break from the game, coming on for the debut comeback match at the age of 23, scoring a hat-trick resulting in my dad buying me new boots after losing a bet.
Representative football played
Llanfairfechan boys, girls, Wales U16, and now Ladies!
Strengths to your game
Shooting, skill and play.. always had a good head for the game.
Weaknesses
Not loud enough on the pitch. Stamina & fitness could do with a massive improvement.
Best team-mate played alongside
Too many to count over the years who I’m still friends with now. Loving playing centre mid with Lois (Thomas) again. But it’s great to finally get back on the field with Kelsey (Robinson) and Rachel (Evans) – just like old times.
Hardest opponent faced
Katie Midwinter in recent game against Bethesda. Striker, skill was unbelievable!
Biggest influence in football
On a personal level I’d have to say my two main men, my dad & boyfriend. Dad’s always supported me from the beginning as a child through my teens even with a few years out in between, never missing a game. Boyfriend, Dewi again so supportive of me, Kelsey and Rachel starting up a team from scratch and he’s always proud of my performance.
Funniest team-mate
Kelsey Robinson, just have to catch eyes on the pitch and that’s it, gone.
Which team-mate is the best dancer
Not sure.. we’re quite new so yet to see who’s got the best moves.
Favourite away ground
Not played on many but Llanberis & Kinmel Bay have both got decent pitches. Can’t beat the Rec though.
Personal football ambitions
To never give the game up again for as long as I can. Always room to improve, especially fitness.

Absolutely love travelling. 5 months of Asia, Indonesia and the Philippians done so far and plans for plenty more, Canada next. Also a secret Leicester City fan at heart, love the atmosphere in King Power been visiting ever since I was a child. Manchester United was all a cover up.
