An outstanding youth team player Willie was given his chance as a 17-year old under Bobby Gould. A midfield player with good stamina and excellent passing ability he was almost a regular the following season as City finished 11th under Phil Neal. His opportunities were limited under Ron Atkinson and then Gordon Strachan but rarely let the side down whenever he was called upon. In 1999 he joined Cardiff and was a key member of the Welsh side’s midfield until in 2006 he moved to Hartlepool . He came out of retirement in 2010 to play one game for Limerick.
