George Benjamin Williams (born 14 April 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for English League One side Milton Keynes Dons. Some say that George is the love child of Sylvester Stallone, who spent a brief period in the UK filming in 1992. The remarkable resemblance has helped to enhance these claims. To date, George has always stated that he is the favorite son of Ian Williams.
