Just seen on Twitter that Billy Smith has passed. RIP
I’m sure I remember Billy relating that tale on one of his visits to Champion Hill, beaming like a Cheshire Cat as he did so.Sad news. Condolences to his family and friends.
During his time at Crawley I went to watch them at Boston United. Steve Evans was the Boston manager. I can't remember who started it but one threw a bucket at the other and a brawl started. Everyone in the stadium looked on in amazement as the two managers went for it. It remains the only time I've seen both managers dismissed. It was reported a second brawl started in the tunnel.
Sources at Crawley suggested Billy later said his only regret was that he didn't hit Steve Evans harder...
They have fucking ignored it, shambles.Im not surprised. Very few if any of the current club staff would have known of Billy’s connection to the club though if they’d been reading here. I did tag the club into a personal tribute so that they might be aware but seems that hasn’t been picked up.
