Former Bristol City defender Ashley Williams has been charged by the Manchester County FA following an incident at an under-12's match.
The Mail report that Williams has been accused of improper conduct and violent and threatening behaviour at the fixture in Manchester after entering the field of play to confront an opposition coach in a match involving his son. Williams is said to deny the charges and a spokesman told the Mail he has "45 witnesses" to back up his claim that he acted in self-defence.
The game, which took place in September and was subsequently abandoned, was between Corinthians and Williams's TSC United at Manchester's Wright-Robinson College in the East Manchester Junior Football League.
