Billy was a regular supporter of all sports in and around Truro, often seen at Treyew Road, St Clements Hill (Truro Rugby Football Club) and Boscawen Park (Truro Cricket Club).

A larger than life character in every sense of the word, Billy's passion always shone through on the terraces, behind the try line or on the boundaries edge.

His tales of watching Truro and Cornish sport would always gain an audience (young and old), with his (true) story of following the Falmouth Marine Band onto the pitch at Twickenham before a County Championship Final, and hoisting a giant wooden pasty over the goal posts, the stuff of a true Duchy legend.

Everyone at the club sends their deepest sympathies and condolences to Billy's family and friends at this difficult time.

As a mark of respect, there will be a minute's silence before Saturday's reserves fixture against Dobwalls at Tregye Fields.
