Steve Williams (goalkeeper)

Steve Williams or 'Willo' (born April 21, 1983) is an English professional footballer formerly of Wycombe Wanderers in Football League Two.

Steve joined the club at the age of 14 after having trials at Chelsea.

He served a 'work experience' spell at Beaconsfield in 2002 due to limited opportunities with the Blues but, despite starting the 2002/03 campaign as third choice behind Martin Taylor and Mark Osborn, Oxford born 'Willo' signed his first professional contract in April 2002.

The young keeper made his league debut against Stockport on 9 August 2003, after having a successful pre-season campaign ahead of first choice Frank Talia.

Despite being in and out of the side throughout the 2003/04 season, Willo steadily improved and was unfortunate to fracture a finger at Plymouth in early April, missing the rest of that season.

Fit again for the start of the 2005/06 campaign, Willo never really came close to challenging Frank Talia for the number 1 spot and both had to see loan 'keepers brought in ahead of them. However, Willo's first start of the season came against Peterborough on the last game of the 2005/06 season which was enough to see him keep his place for the play-off games against Cheltenham Town.

Willo signed a new one-year contract with Wycombe on 1 August 2006, but just a day later moved to Forest Green Rovers on a season-long loan deal. He returned to Wycombe in January from his loan deal at Forest Green when it was cut short. He was then loaned out to Conference South side Lewes.

Williams was released by Wycombe at the end of the 2006/07 season.
