Billy was always being pushed by his mother. He was expelled from
Mrs Dudley Hederson's Private School for fighting, and had to
attend Bessie Street School and then had to take evening classes
at Weatherfield Tech. After National Service he started out as
a garage mechanic, but was again pushed into more responsibility.
However, Billy turned into a drinker and gambler and wasn't averse
to a shady deal. He kept on turning up at the Rovers like a bad
penny, but found Jersey became his home, and only turned up at
the Rovers when he needed money - which his mother would invariably
give him.
After his mother retired he took over The Rovers, but more
debts and another deal involving supermarket spirits meant he
was forced to sell The Rovers back to the brewery and he returned
to Jersey.
