:''For the Accrington Stanley footballer please see Robbie Williams (footballer born 1979)''
'Robert' "'Robbie'" 'Ian Williams' (born October 2, 1984 in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Huddersfield Town. He plays at left-back, but can play in left midfield as well.
Williams came through the youth ranks with Barnsley, playing over fifty first-team games. He made his debut on 5 October 2002, against Brentford.
On March 22, 2007, Williams joined Blackpool on loan until the end of the season. He scored on his debut for the Seasiders, in a 3-1 win at Bradford City, two days later.^[1]
On April 17, 2007, Williams was named in the Press Association's League One "Team of the Week".^[2]
Williams concluded his loan spell at Blackpool by scoring the first of their two goals — a thirty-yard free-kick (to which the commentators summed up with "Let me entertain you," in reference to his namesake) — in the League One play-off final victory against Yeovil Town at Wembley.^[3]
On July 11, it was revealed that Huddersfield Town manager Andy Ritchie had an offer for Williams accepted, with personal terms agreed on July 13, but the following day during his medical, it was revealed that he had a hairline fracture, with the deal virtually collapsed. However, after he was given time to recover from his injury he was signed by the Terriers on August 24, 2007 for an undisclosed fee.
