Was speaking to Jim Mills at his book launch on Tuesday night, Billy is one of his closest friends and Jim was explaining that he had hoped Billy would have come along, but knew he was unwell. He was relieved when I told him he had gone home from hospital (which I picked up on here!). I remember the later period of Billy's career, his partnership with Eric Ashton has to be one of the best ever in the game, complimented each other perfectly.
One Wigan legend who did make it on Tuesday was Bill Ashurst who said a few words on Jim's behalf as they traded anecdotes about sending offs and being laid out!
