Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I did, courtesy of my Dad taking me to Central Park, that’s when I started to follow Wigan RL 😊

What a legend. Can't be many people featuring in 3 statues in 3 different parts of the country.

Incredible he never got a knighthood. If only the current Minister for Sport had a link to Wigan...

I remember going to see him, with my dad, when he played for Blackpool Borough. He scored a try in the southeast corner of Borough Park, taking at least two defenders over with him. What a player!

Happy Birthday Billy. Well done on your 90th.

Great player, great try scorer.
