Bill Naylor


Recommended Posts

Bill Naylor was the right back when I first started watching Latics, and then he bacame centre half. He played over 220 games and was always calm on the ball. There can't be many players who get two testimonial games like him.

 

R.I.P. Bill.

We must have started going about the same time; he was at right back when I first went too. He was a laid back sort of player long before the phrase was invented. How many of that era are left now? Very few, I would imagine.

 

RIP Bill. Condolences to your family.

My first match was in 1953 2nd div I remember Billy Naylor playing alongside G Hardwick also we had a right half called J Thomson can anyone remember the rest of the team then without looking it up.

 

No, but George Burnett would have been in goal and probably Archie Whyte in the defence.
