Donald Williams (field hockey)

Donald Williams (born 11 September 1966) is a British former field hockey player who competed in the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1]

Williams is famously known for falling off a cliff whilst out for a walk. His spatial awareness had often been questioned by his England hockey team mates - who were not surprised when they heard of his accident.

Williams fell onto the rocks below in a little cove where the tide was coming in. Thankfully his blackberry was still working though - and even though he had broken many ribs, plus collar bone etc, he was able to call for help and was rescued. A friendly crab talked to him whilst waiting for the air ambulance.

Williams now focuses on his average golf game.
