Image for PICTURE: The Newcastle star that always delivers

mike williamsonNewcastle United travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in the Premier League this afternoon and one man who will be key to their fortunes and has continued to deliver in recent weeks is centre back Mike Williamson.

Once much-maligned by Newcastle fans, Willo has now become a favourite with the Geordie nation and there are even calls for him to be in the England squad and on the plane to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup in the summer.

There is now no doubting that Alan Pardew’s best central defensive partnership is Williamson alongside captain Fabricio Coloccini, with the former seemingly improving week on week.

The 30-year-old is a towering presence in the air and against Aston Villa made a vital interception, which not only stopped Villa from scoring but enabled Newcastle to go up the other end and for Loic Remy to score the last-minute winner.

Now Mr Dependable, wouldn’t be great if Mike Williamson could score his first career goal for Newcastle against Fulham!?
