Timeline
However, he later became the first manager in the club's history to suffer relegation in the Football League after finishing 21st in the Third Division and Firmani returned to Charlton two years later for just £2,000.
Alvan Williams (21 November 1932 – 22 December 2003) was a Welsh former professional footballer and manager.
During his career, he made over 100 appearances in The Football League, later going on to manage Hartlepools United, Southend United and Wrexham.
Alvan Williams began his career with Bury, making two league appearances for the club before moving to Division Three North side Wrexham in 1956.
He made his debut for the Dragons in a Cross-border derby match with Chester City on 18 August 1956 but went on to appear just 15 more times in all competitions before leaving.
After spending three years with Bradford Park Avenue, injury forced him to retire in 1961 at the age of 28, while playing for Exeter City.He played part time for Bangor City and won the Welsh Cup in 1961/2, and played in the 1st round of the European Cup against Napoli, the team was beaten.
After a spell as assistant manager at Bangor City, Williams was appointed manager of Division Four side Hartlepool United in February 1964.
He remained with the club until May 1965.
In June 1965 he became manager of Southend United and would later break the club's transfer record by signing Eddie Firmani from Charlton Athletic for £10,000.
He nearly returned to the club in 1966 but, after failing to agree terms, the club instead handed Brian Clough his first job as manager.
Known as a tough manager, Williams once refused to allow Defender Eddie May to come off after suffering a broken nose during a match in October 1966.
May was walking off the pitch when Williams ordered him to turn around and continue playing for the final 33 minutes of the match.
The club's physio instead strapped a sponge onto his nose in a bid to protect it from further damage and May returned to the game.
Williams later stated in an interview: No one in my team is going to go off with a broken nose.
He left the shrimpers in 1967.
Brought in as a replacement for Jack Rowley, Williams took several of his Southend staff with him to the Racecourse Ground including first-team coach John Neal and players Steve Ingle, Ray Smith and Eddie May who was appointed as his Captain at the North Wales club.
Williams was often known as a no nonsense manager and, already incensed following a tackle on Terry Oldfield that had resulted in a broken leg, once threw his team's runners-up medals from the 1967 Welsh Cup Final away after losing a two-legged final to Cardiff City.
During his time with the club, he was instrumental in setting up youth facilities at the club that lead to several players progressing through the club's ranks during the 1970s.
However, he was forced to resign as Wrexham manager after falling out with the club's board.
After retiring from football he ran a number of pubs and clubs from Blackpool to London.
In the 1970s he was involved in an unsavoury incident in his London bar which led to a student's death.
He was initially charged with murder, and his trial went to the Old Bailey.
However, due to lack of evidence the charge was reduced to affray, and he was released on bail.
Later, Williams ran the Ship Inn in Bala with wife Elizabeth, and other pubs in the north Wales area.
Williams will also be well known for his ability to spot young talented footballers.
The Football Association of Wales awarded him a special merit award for his contribution to the game shortly before his death in December 2003.
