Never got to see him play but I was brought up on the stories of the great pack he was part of. RIP Bill. Legend!

RIP, sadly only ever watched him in old finals on DVD but he and his brother among the rest of the great 50s team adorn a place I call my Hull FC corner.

RIP Bill. My dad saw him and often compares some players to Bill's style.
A legend passes. Sad times.

Heartfelt Condolences to his family and friends.
Attended at the Boulevard when Bill Drake arrived and watched his development to become a prominent member of the most dominant forward pack I have seen fielded by Hull which led to their great success in the fifties.
