Liam Williams apologises for 'blacked-up' Wilfried Bony fancy dress photo

Wales rugby international Liam Williams has apologised after posting a picture on Twitter of himself 'blacked-up' as a Swansea City footballer.

The Scarlets full-back appeared in the photo with four teammates in fancy dress costumes where he posed as striker Wilfried Bony.

The photo has since been removed with Williams posting: "I am very sorry for any offence caused by my actions. I'm not a racist and there was no malice behind it."

Show Racism the Red Card had previously called on Williams - who featured in one of the charity's campaigns - to apologise for the picture.
