ARISE SIR BILLY... Boston becomes first Rugby League Knight
By DOUG THOMSON
PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer was among those to congratulate Billy Boston after the legendary former Wigan and Great Britain winger received a knighthood from King Charles at Buckingham Palace last Tuesday.
Now 90 years old, the Cardiff-born star not only scored 571 tries in 565 matches (including 478 in 488 games for Wigan) - a career total bettered only by fellow Rugby League Hall of Fame member Brian Bevan.
