Wigan plan series of tributes in Thursday’s Hull KR clash
The prime minister, Andy Burnham, said he is “heartbroken” by the passing of Sir Billy Boston as he lead tributes to the rugby league icon following his death.
Boston passed away on Tuesday at the age of 92. He was one of the sport’s all-time great players, scoring almost 500 tries during an illustrious career for Wigan Warriors and Great Britain, eventually becoming the first man in rugby league history to be knighted for his services to the game last year.
