Me too - what a great player he was. RIPprivileged to have seen him grace the Park,RIP a true Sunderland legend
My favourite player when I first started supporting The Lads. Rest in Peace.
The pride of Coatbridge .Such sad news. As most will know, Billy was a member of a truly exceptional footballing family. Loved him as a kid even though he was before my time, mainly on account of his family footballing links to Sunderland and Celtic and him being from the same town as my family.
RIP Billy. I’ll raise a drink tomorrow for him in Gallowgate.
An exciting, Mercurial player.I have great memories Of him running at defences with pace. RIP.
Lovely tributes, gentlemen. One of my favourites: loved his swagger & swashbuckle. Plus Billy's Shughes....Part of my teenage years gone. One of the players brought in and developed by Alan Brown when he came back to the club after McColl, and really blossomed after Vic Halom arrived. Sadly, he never seemed to make a full recovery from the bad broken log he suffered in, I think, 75/76.
Hopefully those who go on Boxing Day will be able to honour him with the minute's applause he richly deserves, and again in March when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame.
RIP Billy, and thanks for all the memories.
