Noel-Williams started his professional career at Watford where he spent a seven year spell playing 127 games and scoring 43 goals. Aged 19, he was Watford's top goalscorer in the 1998–99 season, as they were promoted to the Premier League. However, his season ended in February 1999, when he was seriously injured by a challenge from Sunderland defender, Paul Butler and as a result of the injury he now has arthritis in both his knees, which has hindered his career.


Oh I see thats terrible does this Butler still play?

* He can't run - edit, to be more precise he still has some pace (less than before) but his condition means he can never string a run of games together so struggles for form.

I don't see any liga team getting past the QFs of the CL this season.

Not particularly worried. Sooner or later the house of cards that is the EPL will fall down.

Timo Hildebrand Wechsel nach Hoffenheim geplatzt
Versauert er in Spanien auf der Bank?
Von FELIX SEIDEL, ULLI SCHAUBERGER und Kai TRAEMANN

Das wäre die Last-Minute-Transfer-Sensation der Liga gewesen! BILD erfuhr: Timo Hildebrand (29) stand kurz vor einer Rückkehr in die Bundesliga – zu Aufsteiger Hoffenheim!

Der Klub von Milliardär Dietmar Hopp (68) hatte großes Interesse, sagte dem Torwart von Valencia am späten Sonntagabend jedoch ab.

Grund: Die Hoffenheimer störte es, dass Hildebrands Berater Volker Dietrich und Dusan Bukovac ihn bei so vielen Klubs in Europa angeboten hatten. Zudem haben sie bereits vier Torhüter im Kader, u.a. Ösi-Nationaltorwart Özcan.

Klar ist: Hildebrand will trotz Vertrags bis Juni 2010 unbedingt weg aus Valencia. Am Wochenende beim 3:0 gegen Mallorca saß er nur auf der Tribüne. Neu-Trainer Umai Emery setzt auf Brasilien-Einkauf Renan Brito (23/für 4 Mio von Porto Alegre) als neue Nr. 1.

Meanwhile, I don't speak German, but I think this says that Hildebrand has gone to Hoffenheim, the German Chelsea (or should that be Man. City )
