Steve Williams (born 16 October 1974, in Aberystwyth) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a goalkeeper with Bray Wanderers. He has represented his country at Under-15, Under-16, Under-18 and Under-21 level.
Williams started his career at Coventry before moving to Cardiff City. Having spent four years with Cardiff, he moved briefly to Notts County before joining Dundalk in 1997. He moved to Shelbourne for the onset of the 1999-2000 and was a major player in their double success that season, having kept seventeen clean sheets. He was voted Early & Baldwin Player of the Year in 2002/03 and won the SWAI Goalkeeper of the Year award for calendar year 2003.
His greatest hour came when he kept a clean sheet as Shels beat Hajduk Split 2-0 in a Champions League qualifier in 2004 [http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2004/08/05/story204635756.asp] .
Steve was also prone to mistakes. He dropped the ball into his own goal on the final day of the 2006 season against Bohemians. Shelbourne, however went onto win the title. Although prone to mistakes he made some outstanding saves. Some of these include denying Bohemians an equalizer in Dalymount Park with an unbelievable save to guarantee Shels title victory.
Williams made 213 league appearances during his time with Shels.
