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?
Yes Josie. It has pride of place among all my Wigan memorabilia.
I always think Billy will go on forever!

I never had the privilege of seeing him live but obviously one of, if not, the most famous player to play for Wigan.
I wonder if the club and sky could make an announcement at next weeks match wishing him a speedy recovery?
Get well soon Billy!

I've just posted the following on the Riversiders twitter.
@TheRiversiders: Just to let everyone know that Billy Boston went home from hospital today. Joan has asked us to thank everyone for their well wishes.

Great news. Hopefully Wigan can put a smile on his face on Friday evening by qualifying for the Grand Final.
