League Division Two Champions 1950.
FA Cup winners, 1961, 1962, 1967.

After quitting Spurs Bill spent a year at West Ham as an adviser. When Keith Burkinshaw became Spurs manager in 1976, his first request was that Bill be brought back to Spurs as a consultant. Bill's knowledge was invaluable to Keith recommending players such as Graham Roberts, Tony Galvin, Gary Mabbutt and Glen Hoddle to him. Imo, Bill was Spurs, a true gentleman, and a legend. Rest in peace Bill, I for one will never forget those glory days we supporters had the pleasure to witness. Thank you.
