Billy Bonds has sadly passed this morning. A true legend of the Club, and a decent bloke too.
RIP 🌹

    Awful news, the term hero is thrown about so carelessly these days, but Bonzo truly was one. RIP Billy.

    Given where the game is today, we’ll probably never see his like again. RIP. ⚒

    A brilliant captain, always gave 100%, usually with his socks rolled down. RIP Billy.

    Very sad. I feel so privileged to have watched him play. Always gave 100% and was a man of the people.

    Many will wear the armband but Billy will always be West Ham's Captain for so many.

    RIP The captain of my childhood.

    I remember him appearing on the veteran's edition of Superstars, and proceeding to break all-comers records in the gym tests!

    Will be a lot of sad faces around the club today, none more so than Sir Trev……always felt there was something extra special between them

    Epitomised West Ham. Like no other. As a kid someone to admire and look up to. As a teenager someone to aspire to be in terms of commitment and grit and determination and no little grace. Grizzled in a suit.
    Mr West Ham.
    They don't make them like that any more.

    The best defensive midfielder who should have played for England. He was a hard but honest tackler.

    Thinking about how he would have handled the Paqueta incident at the weekend made me chuckle, one glare directed at Paq would have left him muttering under his breath, tail firmly between his legs
