I’m sure we all have great memories of listening to Bill on commentary. It was a pleasure to share the pitch with him at the Sergio Torres event. He was a true gentleman who had time for everyone.
I have just heard this awful news. Bill was a good friend, fellow journalist and broadcaster and most importantly a proud Chairboy. Always smiling even in the face of adversity, he was a true gentleman and will be missed by so many.
Nearly all of my favourite Wycombe commentary moments were from the Phil and Bill combo, particularly that Carlisle game. I've been trying to find highlights online with Bill's commentary but failed. I hope WWTV puts together some "best of" moments. RIP Bill.
I am also trying to search for my favourite commentary moment. It sticks in my mind but I can’t recall the match. It was a Matty Bloomfield goal and Bill’s commentary genuinely left me with goosebumps.
Had the pleasure of chatting to him a couple of times over the years. Lovely guy and absolutely passionate advocate for our club. RIP Bill and condolences to his family
Was always delighted to meet Bill in the queue for the real ale counter or in the Frank Adams Stand.
So glad that he was one of the few allowed into Wembley in July 2020 to see us promoted.
On a personal angle, i will be eternally grateful that he was able to go public about his diagnosis of prostate cancer from which the rest of us learned so much about this killer disease. Let us now hope that routine testing of men over 50 is brought in as a great legacy to Bill.
RIP Bill, only met a few times but very nice guy and great sometimes impartial summariser, a proper fan. Also great broadcaster really showing up some of the desperate shock jock types he covered for in more recent times. Best wishes to his family.
I first saw the very sad news on The Huffington Post site which shows just how many people he was important to. Thoughts with his family and all fellow Wycombe fans this morning. Rest in Peace Bill.

Lovely guy. Would sometimes have a beer with him after the game. You could never get bored of his company. So sad we'll never see him again.
