In the trier category .He was shite
Don't know if it was general or just amongst a small group, but he somehow acquired the nickname 'Eraserhead'. I've seen the film a couple of times (it's a hard watch) and I couldn't fathom out any reference that might have applied. I could understand perfectly if he had a similar hairstyle to the main protagonist.If I recall correctly, we went to watch David Platt play for Crewe, but he had a poor game, but as it happened Billing played well, and we bought him instead. If only hey!
Billing (Jed to his mates) was a no nonsense, no frills centre half, who always gave 100% and although limited in ability, was generally liked by the majority of fans, (apart from Grendel as usual)
Was that not Paul Edwards?If I recall correctly, we went to watch David Platt play for Crewe, but he had a poor game, but as it happened Billing played well, and we bought him instead. If only hey!

I remember he used to have about a 20 yard run up to hit a free kick..... straight into the wall
Was that not Paul Edwards?
Well, I’ve been telling the wrong story for a while then!Nah...Platt was already at the Vile when Edwards signed for us
He also scored from those same freekicks. One against Plymouth away in the cup and we won 3-1. And another against Sheff Utd at their place. Won that one 3-0. Him and Sean Flynn were good friends off the pitch too. Met him a couple of times and he was a down to earth guy, no sense of a prima donna footballer (unlike the time I saw Steve Livo and Tony Dobson larking around in TSB Bank in their CCFC tracksuits).
Billing had left the club years before that win at Plymouth
He was a decent player shame he went to Wolves early doors, he had pace on the overlap and always remember his cross for Gallacher in the 5-4 win over forest.Was that not Paul Edwards?
Sat next to my forest season ticket holder mate in the west terrace for that game. Lovely stuff.He was a decent player shame he went to Wolves early doors, he had pace on the overlap and always remember his cross for Gallacher in the 5-4 win over forest.

Teutonic in appearance .Herman Billing he was described as in the SBA fanzine at the time
Sorry but that’s not the Paul Edwards I remember! I thought he was terrible. Signed to replace Downs...and unfortunately was a like-for-like replacement!He was a decent player shame he went to Wolves early doors, he had pace on the overlap and always remember his cross for Gallacher in the 5-4 win over forest.
Yes, I have the same opinion.Sorry but that’s not the Paul Edwards I remember! I thought he was terrible. Signed to replace Downs...and unfortunately was a like-for-like replacement!

Yes I buy that or eastern eurooean.
It's the Stella curse lolHow do you lot remember all this stuff?
I’ve seen most every game you refer to In this, and other threads, and can remember next to f*** all about them :emoji_smiley:
Went to watch training a number of times and one of them was when Peter Billing at the club.
The players were in pairs and pinging passes about 50yards back and forth. Peter Billing hit pass after pass to his partner (think it was David Smith) and each one was inch perfect for about 15 mins. Absolutely gobsmacked by it
