    The stories about him are legendary.
    Like when he might have had to miss the second half of a game for West Ham because a toe was mashed. His response was 'cut it off'!
    One of my favourites was when he was at West Ham in his mid to late thirties, if a cheeky younger player ever remarked on his age he would immediately challenge them to a race over whatever distance they chose.

    In an age now where they seem to hand out England Caps like confetti it is amazing that players like Bonzo and Bartram were never capped. RIP

    My sister went to nursery with his daughter at St Andrews, Court Road, Mottingham.
    RIP Billy
