Horrible disease, just awful, I’m attending a dinner at Ashton Golf Club in about three weeks in aid of MND.

RIP even though I never knew him, always sad to lose a Blue.

As an aside did Bill have a retail outlet?

Yes in Crown Point. Bought a carpet from him before BM was formed but never met him since. Good poster. RIP.

Very sad news. I first met Bill (De Niro 15 years ago) what a lovely man he was. Bill had time for everyone and would talk all things City. I was saddened to see him struck down by this terrible illness. My deepest sympathy to his lovely wife and daughter. Athe rest of Bills family.

Only had the pleasure of meeting Bill once at the ground after mooching a ticket off him. He seemed a lovely guy.

Awful, awful disease.
RiP

Carpet shop?

Thanks, remember reading a few posts where he quoted he owned a business, good few years ago now.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

A true gent and Bluemoon legend, very sorry to hear this news.

Never met him but he would sometimes ring me up and ask about transfers because he knew about my job.

Condolences to Bill's family and friends.

R.I.P

A sad loss indeed, dont think I ever met him, though did converse with him many times on here especially in the early days, always thought he was a guy with a sense of humour .
RIP Blue
