Billy's dad was in the Normanby Cricket Club discussing football. Billy's dad says 'if our Billy got picked for England I would die a happy man.' One the lads spurts out 'if your Billy got picked for England, I would die laughing.'

He put a bit of thought into this - not just steak, but has to be T boned.

Last minute 30 yard equaliser at AP in FA Cup v Palace, after coming on as a late sub, lost replay 1-0
Arguably his best goal

Cemented my life long man-crush on him when he came off the bench and scored a thunder-bolt equaliser against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup (well in my mind's eye its now a thunder-bolt equaliser, it was probably a 5 yard tap in). I've tracked the game down to 9th January 1979 but have never bee able to find any video footage.
As a footnote, circa 1983 when I was at Uni in Liverpool, I got into a conversation with a scouser whilst standing at the bar of the Brook House (pub near the halls of residence); when I told him that I was from Middlesbrough he said that his brother had played for Middlesbrough:- Billy Ashcroft.
