LegendSo sorry to hear that. He was one of our greatest.
R.I.P.
I’ll raise a glass to him this afternoon.
I didn't see it, but I've been told Look North's so called coverage of this was an absolute disgrace. No real surprise there like. Apparently they were more interested in showing Newcastle players in training.
Typical Geordie bitterness. The programme editors and organisers should be on the dole in the morning. One of numerous slights against the club, city and the people of Sunderland. But once again they'll be no public outcry, no response from the club or council or the fans. We need to start teaching these hideous jealous tossers their behaviour is not acceptable. Would like to start by everyone on this board to make a formal complaint to Look North and if needs be take their behaviour and favouritism of their own to the broadcasting ombudsman and start dealing with this in the correct manner.RIP Billy saw you in my first ever game at Roker in 1971.
My first hero and shame on you Look North for only showing footage of him getting booked at Wembley- he deserved better than that.
I'm gutted to hear of Billy's death. Another true legend of the club gone. Loved watching him play. Lovely Footballer. RIP Billy.
I saw it.I didn't see it either - anyone who did I'd like their view?
Surprised Jeff Brown let this go on air, shame onthe lot of them.I saw it.
It’s not like they hadn’t had all day to prepare something more appropriate.
If it had been Mag legend I’m sure they would have made more of it.
11 years 300 appearances,80 goals and all they could show was him getting booked in the final.
It’s on iplayer 14:40
