THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER TO PUT BOOTS ON.SCORED SEVEN TRIES TWICE.1952 V DEWSBURY AT THE GREAT CENTRAL PARK AND EASTER MONDAY AT SALFORD.THE REASON WHY HE IS THE GREATEST,HE PLAYED FULL BACK,WING,CENTRE,STAND OFF,AND IN THE FORWARDS AT TOP LEVEL.I SAW HIS FIRST GAME ON LEFT WING AND HIS LAST IN 1968.

Hi John... I agree Billy was the greatest ever Rugby League player but i'm sure 1952 was a bit early for Billy to score 7 for Wigan......I think 1962 would be more like it....He's still the greatest though.

thanks bob,pressed wrong number,1962,great player,great guy.

I don't care how late this comment is, it's never too late to fully agree with the above posts - Billy - simply the best ever.

Congratulations Sir Billy. If ever anyone deserved a knighthood it's you.
Such a genuinely lovely man.

That photo would make a really good life size action bronze statue of Sir Billy.
