FEW would think that Barnsley captain Jordan Williams and former Chelsea and Everton manager and current Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti would have anything in common.
They might just have. It all surrounds the concept of quiet leadership. That is the name of Ancelotti’s book describing his approach to management in an understated, cool and empathetic way. In many respects, Williams is Barnsley’s own quiet leader. A player and individual who - according to former Reds head coach Michael Duff - ‘goes under the radar a little bit’, yet is highly respected as a dressing-room figure and role model.
While he did not become a first-teamer at Town, he remains grateful for having a perfect figure to learn from in the shape of former captain Tommy Smith, now proving to be an influential figure in his early thirties at his current club Middlesbrough. Williams added: 'When I was at Huddersfield, Tommy Smith was the right-back at the time and then he got the captaincy. He was still quite young at the time.
