BILLY BONDS, never had the chance to come on, as been on duty for my old club

For me unquestionably, the greatest player ever to wear. A WH shirt

Never the skill of Moore Brooking and Devonshire, but LION HEART, is what he was and always will remain so for me

I will frankly admit I cried, when I heard the news

Agency said 4 weeks back he was Ill with Liver Kidney and other problems, I thought he'd be Ok , would never post on here anyway

RIP great Captain, personally I think he deserves a statue outside the ground

100% agree Joyfull saw Bill so many times you just took him for granted each and every game?
Was over the Boleyn at every opportunity from 1959/60 once I started work earning £4 per week as a Telegram Boy, if anybody knows what that was??RIP Big Bill⚒⚒⚒⚒
