“He’s as big for us as anyone”, Coleman said to Wales Online.
Williams was almost 24 by the time he moved to Swansea, and it was another three years before he won promotion to the Premier League.
Chris Coleman reckons Aaron Ramsey could go under the radar at Euro 2016, despite his new hair!
All eyes will be on the Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, who earned his second Champions League winners medal last weekend after guiding his side to a penalty win over Atletico in the Champions League final. We have beaten and drawn against Belgium, who I think are in the top three teams in the world, so we can compete against those sort of teams.
Coleman has until the eve of Wales’ first game to change the make up of his squad on medical grounds.
But Robson-Kanu has insisted he will be ready for the Group B opener with Slovakia in Bordeaux on June 11, saying: “I’m fit and well”.
The Football Association of Wales tweeted a picture of the players watching the game, to which Bale later replied on his official Twitter account: “Thanks for the support lads!” He played a big part in this campaign.
Bale scored seven times as Wales ended a 58-year wait for qualification, and getting out of a group containing England, Slovakia and Russian Federation is now the first objective.
But both keeper Hennessey and defender James Chester insisted none of the squad were about to emulate his look.
“That is my main target to help Wales get out of the group stages and then see where we go from there”.
For us, he gives us something that we haven’t got. “We’ve all worked too hard to focus on one game against England”.
“We can’t say oh “we didn’t have this or we didn’t have that”.

Coleman had said the 29-year-old had to prove his fitness before the final group game against Russian Federation in Toulouse on June 20 to be included.
