Williams has no hard feelings over top award: Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has weighed in on losing out on the coveted footballer of the season accolade, saying all the nominees deserved it.
Williams was pipped to the gong by his Sundowns teammate Teboho Mokoena when the PSL announced its top achievers at the annual year-end awards ceremony, held virtually, a fortnight ago.
“Whoever won the footballer of the season deserved it. So, for me, any of the three nominees or even five, because they are more players that personally I think deserve it,” Williams, who won the goalkeeper of the season award instead, told the media at Bafana Bafana’s media conference at Tuks High Performance Centre in Pretoria yesterday.
“I understand where he is coming from; obviously the in-field players do most of the work, but in this day and age, the way football is moving now, goalkeepers are more important.
