==Cycling career==
In 1979 Williams won his first British National Hill Climb Championships〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Hill Climb Results )〕 setting a new course record that still stands to this day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hill Climb Record )〕 A rival, Andy Hitchens, who remembers it well, said: "Williams looked like he'd been on starvation rations for months — he was built like a sparrow. Some people assume that there was a howling tailwind that day, but there wasn't. It was sunny, but cool.”〔 In 1980 Williams joined the Manchester Wheelers' Club and was expected to win International honours during the next two or three seasons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A History of Manchester Wheelers’ Club )〕 Later that year he won his first stage in the Sealink International finishing four minutes clear.〔 However Williams was left disappointed in the National Hill Climb Championships that year beaten into second place by Malcolm Elliott by only one fifth of a second after being knocked off his bike whilst warming up and receiving a broken nose and severe bruising.〔 At the age of 21 Williams competed for Great Britain in the individual road race at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moscow 1980 Squad )〕 He was sponsored by Harry Hall Cycles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A Brief History of Harry Hall Cycles )〕 Williams finished 47th, alongside Stephen Roche.〔 At the end of the 1980 season Williams publicly declared his intention of living and racing in France for the 1981 racing calendar with a view to turning professional〔 therefore joining the French club ACBB (Athletic Club de Boulogne Billencourt), Europe’s most successful sports club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ACBB )〕
In 1982 Williams completed a unique double, of the British Road Race Championship and Hill Climb Championship becoming the first person ever to do so in the same season.〔 Williams competed in the individual road race at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1982 Commonwealth Games )〕
In 1986 he joined Raleigh riding with Paul Sherwen, Mark Bell, Paul Watson and Jon Clay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raleigh-Weinmann )〕 Williams retired at the end of the 1987 season. He was famed for his hill climbing ability and considered by many to be one of the most exciting riders, he scaled the heights throughout his career, but also plumbed the depths.〔
