King Billy

Post violator »

Rumours circulating on FB that he's not too good at the moment and in hospital, not sure how true they are.

I used to see him there in the late 80s. Saw Alvin and Dave Swindlehurst too.

As a 13 - 14 year old I saw him score a hat trick against Chelsea at Upton Park. One of my favourite West Ham memories, and that includes 2 FA cups, a league cup final (and replay) and a CWC final. Billy was a constant in that lot. What a servant of the club. We are lucky to have had some true legends playing for us but Billy Bonds doesn’t have to look up to any of them.

Remember reading he was in hospital a few weeks back somewhere. Anything happens to Bill and I'm gonna be genuinely upset. Hang in there son.

What a fucking player! The word legend is bandied around too much and has lost it's meaning but Billy Bonds is a proper legend in the proper meaning of the word.

Let's hope the rumours are incorrect.

My first game at Upton Park was him being unveiled as the manager. I walked into the seats in the West Upper just as the roar went up for Billy. Glad they named the stand at the new place after him. Was moving to see him emotional that day too. Deserving of the 'West Ham Legend' label as any.

Stick in their Bill, your time aint up yet. Had to tell my old man (Bill being his idol growing up) the same thing yesterday as well when rushed in to hospital himself. Life comes at you hard at times..
