Neco Williams has revealed that his grandfather passed away on the eve for Wales' opening World Cup match against the United States.
The Red Dragons played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with the USMNT, with Gareth Bale rescuing Rob Page's side with a late second-half penalty. American striker Tim Weah, son of George, had fired his country in a deserved first-half lead.
Williams played the majority of the match for Wales before he was replaced in the 79th minute by Brennan Johnson. The wing-back, 21, took to social media after the match to reveal he had been "crying all day" after being informed by his mother that his grandfather had died.
