Get well soon Bill. My Grandad always said he was a great centre.

Best wishes Bill. Still the best second row I have seen having watched Wigan for over 50 years.

Menpond-what are you on -farrell too soft -the mind boggles.
Back to King Bill-the best Wigan player I have seen in 50+ years of watching. Good luck Bill wishing you a full recovery. Was speaking to Brian lockwood about 20 years ago about the reletive merits of various players including Hanley. When I mentioned Bill Ashurst he just said now you are talking -Best player ever !!
