In the war he was a PE instructor in the army. Only died a few years back in his late 90s. There are loads of funny tales about Billy but to be honest it's Deva Chat where you need to ask about him as this is a Wrexham message board

I do remember him entertaining the fans on the pitch. As a youngster I found him hilarious and he often got a bigger cheer than the players. I don't recall the police escorting him off and I always thought he was part of the accepted half time entertainment.
A few of us went to Old Trafford to support
Chester in the FA Cup ( Some WFC fans did in those days and vica vera). I seem to think he went on the Old Trafford pitch pre match ? I am not sure.
CFC had a massive following that day against one of Uniteds best ever sides.
