burnleylad Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hey ups, I was on here a few year ago trying to get in touch with a former player of yours called Mike Williams. Me and a few other Burnley lads are trying to track down as many former players as possible as we are trying to compile a sort of Where are they Now? type book. Had no joy last time, is there anyone on here that could shed some light on whereabouts? I had heard he was in Bradford circa 2007 but nothing since. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Arthur Bach Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Was he the black defender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the black lad who played for us in the 90's ? Edited March 7, 2015 by alleycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think I have his panini sticker from circa 94 I think (??) if that is of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukestheman82 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Was he the black defender? I thoughthe was a black midfielder who Chrissy Waddle bought from us when he was incharge at Burnley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnleylad Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah he was the black fella, didn't play much but I think he's fairly local. He played for Burnley, Huddersfield and Halifax too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPlopper Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure he was a midfielder Yes but often also used as a right back to good effect - in fact he'd be a brilliant addition right about now to our current squad in either position Edited March 7, 2015 by a_weishaupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Cracking player. Think he went to Forest after us. Might be worth trying on their forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Think he was used as a full back but really a right side midfielder Never let us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Its interesting to think how many young players perhaps didnt get a look in due to our squad of the early-90's. Some of those players were aging too - Wilson, Bright, Shirtliff, Worthington, Anderson et al... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Started off at Maltby Miners Welfare. Was introduced to Wednesday by Colin Walker. Was mates of a mate of mine, who played with Michael at Maltby MW. My mate also played cricket for Derbyshire btw. Lost track of my mate so can't ask exactly what became of Michael. Last I heard, after finishing playing football, Michael set up a fan club for Fatimah Whitbread with whom he was infatuated. When he found out she was gay, it effected him greatly, I think he felt he'd been let down. Rumour has it that he later emigrated to Botswana, put on 10 stones, and while there, picked up aids and Malaria. I think it was at this point that Sheffield United tried to tempt him back into football. He turned them down though. He said he could just about cope with the embarrassment from the Fatimah Whitbread incident, then getting aids, and malaria, but that playing for Sheffield United would definitely finish him off. If you hang around long enough though, he'll turn up to do our 50/50 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 i'm pretty sure he had something to do with Maltby MW's be really careful if you go to Maltby though, keep the engine running and don't slow down or they will strip your motor as its moving. It was not too bad when I lived In Maltby, different class of animal back then. Wasn't the friendly when we sent some big names to play them at Maltby maine beat them around 10 NIL If I can remeber right and the fee was a bag of balls for Maltby, i'm sure that was part of the lads fee when we signed him Malby's gone up hill since you left, house prices have gone up …… Wonder why?
