Re: Billy Ashcroft ...
My hero as a young man - will always remember his header at Oxford in the 76/77 season which I swear was from outside the area ! My over enthusing about him at uni meant my nickname was “billy” which I was very happy about

Re: Billy Ashcroft ...
Was it back in the season we didn't go up, or the following one when we did, he scored all the goals or most of them in a 6-0 romp at Chesterfield....
With them coming up soon on the fixture list could an invite be e3xtended for him to be guest of honour.... |

Billy is a regular FPA guest at the Bamfords. Not sure of this season's guest list but will ask our Secretary.

Indelibly imprinted on my memory. Billy got 4 goals I think, including one that put both the ball and the keeper into the net! It was at the end of the long hot summer and it poured with rain all day. Oh, and I remember one other thing about the day.........I got married. The result was a great wedding present Last edited by RemovedUser; 22nd August 2018 at 09.26:41.. |

I was only 7 and had always wondered who we were playing when he scored that incredible goal. I remember the crowd erupted and went wild. I loved Billy too. He was my first football hero. I hope the young kids still have heroes, because i have never forgotten what it felt like to see him on the pitch and then strutting his stuff in the centenary club I also remember that he was a fab artist. I mean how many cult centre forwards in this day and age can also whip a pencil out and knock a portrait out of their team mates? We were well spoilt.
