Omen II 1,234 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 3. John Williams - the football player (played for Coventry back in the day)John Williams (that one ^) also played for my team, Exeter City, in the 1997-98 season towards the end of his professional career. He only scored four goals for us and was often used as an 'impact' substitute but unfortunately without much impact. If things were going badly on the pitch - which they usually were in those days - the fans would sing "Bring on the postman!", a reference to the fact that John Williams was a postman before he became a film composer guitarist professional footballer.Who else can claim to have cheered for more than one John Williams?

He wrote just three other novels that I hope to get sometime soon.Also, don't forget John Thomas Williams, jazz pianist from Vermont, that has been often confused with "our own" Williams.

Thor 7,385 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 The actor John Williams was mentioned in the thread before: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002369/?ref_=nv_sr_3 But I find it interesting that he played in the original SABRINA (which would later be remade by Pollack and music by our John Williams). He also appeared in TV series actually scored by our John Williams, including episodes of ALCOA and CHECKMATE. I wonder if our John Williams paid attention to this while doing those episodes. Probably not, as it's too common a name. Just as he probably wasn't bothered during WAGON TRAIN, when he did music for an actor that was just a couple of years earlier married to his wife.
