Roverites, in case you missed it, this is an excellent article remembering the wonderful Billy Wilson. Billy formed, arguably one of the finest Rovers full back pairings alongside the immaculate Keith Newton. He was a great servant to the Rovers and @Pompey

Looking forward to #Pompey v Blackburn Rovers, aka the Billy Wilson derby! You can read my tribute to Billy (first published in 2018 as his obituary) on my Substack site: offsidecottage.substack.com/…
