Wales international Liam Williams was forced to issue an apology in 2014 for a fancy dress costume in which he 'blacked-up' as then Swansea City Premier League striker Wilfried Bony.

The image was retweeted 160 times and favourited 345 times after Williams shared it with his 31,000 Twitter followers.

Williams, who later apologised, said Bony, who gave him the shirt and shorts, gave the costume his blessing.

One fan tweeted: "Never forget when Liam Williams dresses up Wilfred Bony,"

"Liam Williams dressing up as bony made my year I think," said a second

Liam Williams facts:

No regional academy picked up the young Williams, so he went to work as a scaffolder at the Port Talbot steelworks
His nickname ‘Sanjay’ comes from a summer holiday to Greece when he was young. Another family thought he looked like Sanjay Kapoor, a market trader from EastEnders
The Scarlets picked him up when he was 20 years old, initially developing Williams at Llanelli RFC
The 2017 British & Irish Lions tour saw Liam Williams start all three Tests at full-back against New Zealand
He refers to himself on social media as a ‘professional bomb defuser’ for his aerial ability
