Williams was key for Scowcroft

The 33-year-old striker played with O's manager Williams at Ipswich a decade ago and is now reunited with the Welshman at Brisbane Road after leaving Crystal Palace. "The fact I knew the manager from our time at Ipswich was one of the reasons behind my decision to come here," he said. "I've known him for several years now and we've always kept in touch. "He's done very well here since he came to the club and it's a good set-up, so I had no hesitation in agreeing to sign."
