Smith: Billy's knighthood is verification for our sport
Hull Daily Mail
|June 12, 2025
HULL KR president Mike Smith hailed Sir Billy Boston's historic knighthood and urged: It has to be the first of many.
-
Rugby league has had to wait 130 years to see a player knighted.
But legendary winger Boston, 90, finally had the honour bestowed on him by King Charles at Buckingham Palace. The Welshman scored 478 tries in 487 games for Wigan and was a trailblazer for black sports stars after moving north from Cardiff in 1953. He also amassed 24 tries in 31 appearances for Great Britain.
Boston, who suffers from dementia, was awarded his knighthood early, before the King's birthday honours list, because of health concerns.
