Neco Williams pays tearful tribute to grandad after starring for Wales in World Cup

Former Liverpool defender Neco Williams paid tribute to his late grandfather after helping Wales battle back to earn a point against USA on Monday evening.

The 21-year-old was pictured in tears after the full-time whistle of last night's 1-1 draw, which saw Gareth Bale convert a penalty late on to earn a share of the spoils, and later explained this was due to sad news he had received from his mother on Sunday.

Williams completed 79 minutes of action before being replaced by Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson and returned to the pitch at the full-time whistle with emotions running high.
