Brandon Williams was a promising left-back for Manchester United before being dropped by the club at the end of his contract in July 2024.
Now, nine months on, the 24-year-old has had a massive fall from grace as he faces two years in prison for dangerous driving.
The former Manchester United academy star was involved in a serious car crash in August 2023 on the A34 in Cheshire when he crashed his car whilst driving at 99mph.
Adding to the reckless speed at which he was driving, Williams was filmed only moments before “with a balloon in his mouth”.
Thankfully no-one was killed or seriously injured, however, the former defender is soon to find out his punishment for the incident.
The youngster’s hearing took place at Chester Crown Court on 14th March, with Williams pleading guilty to dangerous driving.
Next for the former left-back is his sentencing which will take place on 9th May 2025, however his history with driving convictions may also weigh against him.
Williams has already at the young age of 24 amassed 30 penalty points and received two driving bans for six months in October 2023 and a year in May 2024.
In the event in may, Williams failed to declare who was driving the vehicle twice, earning him 12 points and a £1,000 fine.
Now, his mother, Lisa Woods has spoken briefly about his hopes for her son’s future.
The Daily Mail has reported that whilst working at the Snack Attack cafe on Harpurhry market, Ms Woods has explained that she hopes her son can find a way back into football after seeing out his punishment.
Whilst it’s still two months until Williams finds out his fate, it’s unexpected that he’ll be joining any new club for some time.
