Brandon Williams' mother hopes that her son can bounce back from his recent struggles and recover his football career.
The former Manchester United Youngster stands behind bars for crashing his car at 99 km / h for two years – after he was filmed just before 'with a balloon in his mouth'.
During a hearing for Chester Crown Court on March 14, Williams, 24, argued guilty of dangerous driving. His conviction on May 9 will come almost a year since he was released by the Red Devils when his four -year -old deal was worth £ 65,000 a week and left the left without a club.
The defender grew up in the tough Harpurhey estate of the city, while his mother Lisa Wood performs a cafe, snack attack, on the Harpurhey market.
Mrs. Wood, 54 was tight lips about the situation of her son other than saying that she 'hopes' that he can revive his football career. “I can't say anything else,” she told Mail Sport.
Mrs. Wood had looked out of the public gallery when Williams admitted that he had driven dangerously earlier this month. Richard Littler KC, defensive, told the court that the case was a “mental health aspect” and that the football player had “lost” his career and a relationship.
A neighbor who lived close to the parental home said Mail Sport: 'I see him quite often with his mother. He is a nice boy and really sober. His grain lives down a few doors, so they are a really close family.
'Everyone knows him as the boy who played for United. I hope he will be playing again soon. '
In the YouTube interview, for the more than a competition channel organized by Williams' former colleague of the United Youth Team d'Hari Mellor and another former football player, Ryan Hopper, Williams described how his life 'very quickly from 0-100 and that is what people will never understand'.
Referring to his background as a 'Estate Kid', he said, 'I come from that area, it is red, red, red, like. I did things with my mother's cafe. '
The play career of Williams started shortly after running 19, in September 2019, when he got his debut in an EFL game match against Rochdale.
The following month he was praised as a 'man of the match' in a Europa League victory against partisan Belgrade by the then manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who lowered his young prospect and said: 'He has been fantastic the few games he played. The boy is not afraid, he is as brave as a lion and he has won us. '
Williams, who had been to Manchester United from the age of seven, quickly discovered a downside.
He said: “It was difficult. You had relatives that you didn't know was your family, friends you didn't know they were friends. '
Normal activities such as going to the stores or for family meals quickly became problematic.
He remembered: 'I am and will always act who I am. I like to walk around Asda, do my groceries, I like to consider it a little meditation, listen to the radio and getting all bargains.
'I let someone come to me and say, what are you doing here? I thought, what do you mean, why can't I be here?
'The spotlights on you and the things I found hard was when I was out with my family and people came to me and ask for photos. I am about to eat my steak and someone has come for a photo. When I'm with my family, I am with my family. That's what I lost. '
