Football careerRoberts was born in Rhyl in north-east Wales and started his football career at his local club.[1] At Rhyl, he was a "good dribbler and very tricky" who "combined well with his colleagues". He was an opportunistic player who excelled at "individual runs".[1] As team captain, he helped Rhyl reach the final of the Northern Welsh F.A. in 1883.[1] His solitary international appearance came at the Kennington Oval against England on 3 February 1883 when he was a late replacement for Thomas Britten, thus becoming the first international player from Rhyl.[1] His international appearance was not a success as the match finished 5–0 in favour of the home country[2] with three goals from Clement Mitchell.[3] Roberts' performance was criticised for his lack of experience: "He may play fairly well for his own club but cannot be said to have been a success against England".[1] Later careerA butcher by trade, Roberts moved to Manchester in 1885, where he turned out for the local Welsh expatriate side.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|title=Who's Who of Welsh International Soccer Players |last1=Davies |first1=Gareth |last2=Garland |first2=Ian |year=1991|publisher=Bridge Books |isbn=1-872424-11-2|page=182}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Roberts, William}}2. ^{{cite web|title=England 5 Wales 0 |url=http://www.wfda.co.uk/international_details.php?id=17 |publisher=Welsh Football Data Archive|accessdate=7 November 2011|date=3 February 1883}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=England 5 Wales 0 |url=http://www.englandstats.com/matches.php?mid=8 |publisher=www.englandstats.com|accessdate=7 November 2011|date=3 February 1883}} 7 : 1863 births|Sportspeople from Rhyl|Year of death missing|Welsh footballers|Association football forwards|Wales international footballers|Rhyl F.C. players |
