Alli fairytale for Williams

admin

The close friends came through the MK Dons’ youth system together but seemed unlikely to play alongside each other again with Wales international Williams having made the move to Fulham.

But they were both in Karl Robinson’s starting line-up against Colchester on Tuesday night after Williams made the loan switch from the Cottagers and he admitted it was a special moment.

“I’ve been playing with him since I was a little boy,” he told the Milton Keynes Citizen. “It’s a bit of a fairytale to be playing with him again.

“From our youth-team days, we’ll still have a connection. We know what each other is thinking.

“It helps having Dele as a friend, and he told the gaffer I was looking for a loan. Dele runs the show down here.

“For myself and Dele, we know we probably won’t be here next season, so to be playing together again and for Milton Keynes and to get promoted would be very special.”
