Sadly passed away in January .
Signed on a free from Watford in the mid 70’s, played over hundred games for the U’s and always went unnoticed in his left back role due to his consistency. Featured in the promotion winning team of 1976.

RIP John William
He must have replaced Mick Packer who signed for us in 1973 but my memory fails me! [Post edited 21 Apr 2021 13:47]

They were at the U's about the same time, but Mick Packer stayed with us much longer than John. I didn't realise until checking the facts for myself, but John Williams, Mick Packer, Mike Walker and Brian Owen all played for Watford in their 1970 FA Cup Semi Final match against Chelsea - they lost 5-1 though... |  |

Had not realised that either Wessex.
All gave good service to Colchester. | | | |

Very sad, I remember John a very decent defender, I used to work with his daughter Jackie in the 1990s and early 2000’s. RIP John. |  | | |
