And Chichester City – the club he was playing for when he sustained a serious head injury in a match at Wingate and Finchley that led to his death ih hospital five days later – have marked the anniversary with another match devoted to his memory.
City hosted Chertsey in a Southern League Premier South match on Tuesday night and numerous tributes were paid to Billy before and during the game.
A poem about the 21-year-old striker was read out before a minute’s applause ahead of kick-off and there were a number of shirt, flag and floral tributes to the young man around the ground.
His family were present – as they have been at many Chi City games – to see again just how loved Billy was and how much he is missed.
On the pitch, the match finished 2-2.
City manager Miles Rutherford said: “It was an emotional night but it was right that we again paid tribute to Billy one year on.”
