Simply the Best

An underrated and somewhat overlooked player by non West Ham officionados, Billy seems to have lost out to the likes of Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking. Sure, the latter two players have pedigree and celebrity but, in actual fact, Billy is what West Ham is all about.

There are some players today that try to model themselves on Moore and Brooking that would do better by trying to emulate the 'True Grit' of Billy Bonds.
