Best wishes to Billy and hope he has a speedy recovery.

My hero since I saw him play from 1964 - towards the end of his career, but still the best! A humble, good man too, encapsulating all that's best about our game. Best wishes and prayers for "King Bill".

One of the best players ever to set foot on the turf at central park a true gentleman.Get well soon Billy I'm sure the rest of wigan will be sending you best wishes.

Get Well, Billy!

Hope and pray that Billy B is OK.
If my memory is correct, I first saw him in 1955 when Wigan played Whitehaven.
Never forgot the impact he had.
And, he sent me a signed photo of himself scoring a try in the old Championship Final v Wakefield for my 70th birthday.
A true Legend and a giant among men in every way.

Is that the one you told me about?

Let's hope he recovers fully.

Can't underestimate how important he was and is to the game. A black man in a white man's world who won over everyone by his talent, skill, attitude and demeanour on the field and who remained in the game as a true fan of his club.

It always gives me a lift to see him in the stands supporting his team.

Now let's make him really feel better by winning that GF.

Best wishes billy for a speedy recovery ... Get well soon

All the best for a speedy recovery to the legend that is Billy Boston

Just seen the news via this thread - he's always been a real fighter through his entire career (he has had to for varying reasons) so very hopeful the character in the man will see him recover, sooner rather than later.
