Rugby league mourns the loss of Sir Billy Boston, a true legend who died peacefully at 92, leaving behind an indelible mark on the sport. With over 570 tries—only one player ever surpassed him—he was a scoring machine and a beloved icon. Fans flooded Wigan’s ground to honor him, signing a condolence book and sharing heartfelt memories. From his kitman who called him his lifelong hero to fans who praised his kindness, Boston’s warmth shone through.

His legacy, both on and off the pitch, will endure forever.
