He's a Legend to fellow WEST HAM fan's, liked by all as he's genuine & Fair, he wasn't interested in slapping scarfers or boys only other firms up for it, even rival firms respect him, he's earned it, fuck me he had a hard life but he came through it where most would of fallen, my older brother who passed last year, was his breed & old skool, tough bastards, total respect ⚒
Hes 100 times harder than any of these modern day flare lighting mask wearing wannabe tough guys. They think they are gangsters because they saw football factory
Fascinating interview. Soo gutsy to talk about his childhood in the manner Bill did. I must admit I had tears in my eyes because it echoed my own upbringing, or rather downbringing as I refer to it. Bill simply states the truth. A decent man.
Bill's courage and honesty is incredible and to come out of that level of abuse and neglect in his childhood alive is something he can be proud of. It's understable how a childhood like that can lead to hoolaganism- the need for belonging and anger release, but it sounds like he's matured past that toxic environment and left it behind him.
Bill you sum up well what has gone wrong with West Ham the new Stadium is awful just like the Board .. Bill a truthful man who is loyal to his West Ham family... massive respect Bill
Cracking man and 1 million percent respect to you, I worked up the road from Upton Park as a teenager and followed Westham from that day, living in the east midlands I’ve travelled and followed Westham ever since and become apart of the Westham family , true honest funny people the cockneys. Simply COYI and god bless you bill ⚒️🫧🫧🫧
We've certainly had some good tear ups with West Ham over the years, one of the reasons we get so many harsh decisions nowadays to keep us apart, especially after 2008. Whatever division Millwall for life 🦁
Even from bitter rivals I never heard anything bad about him as a person, always spoken of with respect, unlike the kids today using their phones more than fists, a total joke.
A buddy of mine came across Bill&co at Birmingham New St in 80's.My buddy was part of the Cardiff Soul crew and they were young.Gardner&co said'Get your'Toytown'firm out of here,as we are having it with the'Zulus'!I asked my buddy what he and the rest of Cardiff did..he said'We fucked off,besides West Ham'were a lot older lol!😂😂😂
Was i glad to see the curly perm walking towards me, when i went to Birmingham alone at 16, missed the travel club train, and walked from New street ⚒️
Brave man for speaking so honestly about the awful things that happened to him in his childhood. Seems a really decent and genuine guy. Yes, I know he was a hooligan but people need a sense of belonging and comradeship when they are young, and if they don't get it at home then they find it in other places likes football firms.
fella respect old school different to these chair checkers ov 2day probably been in the mix with his crew back in the day man utd always Had a run in with them and Newcastle petrol bombed them
Bill comes across as a genuine nice guy who's had to deal with a lot of shite over the years. It's good to see an honest bloke just saying it as it is without the bullshit. YNWA Bill ❤

The most honest hooligan interview I’ve ever heard ! Not trying to make himself look like the man and big himself up. Genuine

i think this was one of the most honest interviews ive seen .no false bragging ,no glorifying what he did ,just his life story
which is weird for west ham
Much respect even from Millwall. Never a grass just loyal and hard-core!
Oh the good old days when a scrap was an honest scrap. No weapons just man on man.
No atmosphere in the new ground
One of the most honest old school west ham firm that I've ever met.fair play to ya bill being open and honest.
Could not meet a nicer genuine man⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
Bill your a total legend. I'm Leeds you are the man. ALAW
Hes 100 times harder than any of these modern day flare lighting mask wearing wannabe tough guys.
They think they are gangsters because they saw football factory

Honest down to earth bloke, speaks the truth
Boleyn always a great ground. Queens pub. I'm a Toffee and feel we will lose something when we leave Goodison. Great video.

He had a horrific upbringing .people that survive harsh things become the strongest type of people...stay blessed
Bill seems a genuinely nice man, nice episode
Humble , interesting bloke . Think he's done amazing to come through the life he had as a child.
Real working class bloke .
Real Gentleman.
“He was on top of me mum giving her one” 😂😂😂 that had me in stitches.
The 80’s was the best for football. Men went then, and the atmosphere was better. Football now is like going to the movies.
Don’t like West Ham but he is a genuine and decent bloke all the best Bill respect Millwall
We've certainly had some good tear ups with West Ham over the years, one of the reasons we get so many harsh decisions nowadays to keep us apart, especially after 2008. Whatever division Millwall for life 🦁
Really enjoyed your honesty Bill .Regards CFC
Even from bitter rivals I never heard anything bad about him as a person, always spoken of with respect, unlike the kids today using their phones more than fists, a total joke.
