I saw his last game at KR, he was carried shoulder high off the field by Rhodes and someother player, they played "now is the hour" over the tannoy, his last game for the club was away, I used to know the crowd figure for the game, only to say it was pathetic for such a great player.

I remember his 10 year testimonial collection v Wigan at KR. All the players went round with collection buckets at half time.

The last person to leave the field was Billy Boston,a nd the Saints speccies applauded him for it.

It was the only time Billy ever got cheered at Knowsley Road.

Friday 12 April 1968 it was then !....I'd not "turned" 10 year old...

I was there the Boxing Day of the same year an all, when it was frozen off at half time ....Wanbon had scored for Saints (I think) some name that Wanbon

I'm pretty sure that was boxing day 1970, although it could have happened on both occasions.
