    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

    .RIP Billy. He was a proper gent too. He used to live next door to my friend in Chislehurst and once a year the residents closed the road and had a street party. Billy would always come across to talk football knowing that, as a group, we were Charlton and West Ham fans. Proper legend.

    RIP Billy.

    Loved watching him as an overlapping right back for us. Great player and was disappointed when he was sold. Hinton and Bailey had been sold not too long before and Len Glover followed a little later.
