I worked with Billy, what a character, and what a groundsman, he used to boast he could grow grass on a coconut - and he could. He looked after the ground at Leigh Miners too in his later days and did a good job there. He was very good at his job, at the Council, Leigh Rugby and the Miners and he will be sadly missed by his family and all his many friends.

| Very sad at the passing of Billy and Maurice Jones, both of whom meant a lot to me. I'm trying to put together a personal tribute for next week's programme, but it isn't easy! |

If anyone can pay these guys a fitting tribute Alan you are that person.
It's very sad to lose two guys that have done so much for the town and the club and especially in such close proximity.
A minutes silence will be observed on the 19th in honour of both gentlemen.
I also received terrible news that a lifelong supporter of the club had also passed away this week and I had recently got to know him and classed him and his family as friends so was deeply saddened. I won't name names as it's not right for me to so on here but this terrible disease has taken three Leythers in such a short space of time. Life is not fair at times just hope we can give these guys something to cheer from above this coming year and beyond.

Andy,
Looking back at the programme for last season's game with Wigan, we paid tribute to a heck of a lot of loyal Leigh fans, who had passed away since the end of the previous season. It's frightening!
We really do need to attract some younger fans!! |

I'm devastated to hear this sad news about my lobby gobbling pal, you were and always will be simply the best.
It was a pleasure to work for you and more so to call you a friend.
I'll miss the Wigan/Leigh battles we had and dare I say it you won more than you lost.
Your "pie eating, crust munching, knows nowt " Wigan mate Kev
RIP Billy I'll miss u
