Billy Bingham
William Laurence Bingham Date of Birth: Aug 5, 1931 Share "Billy Bingham" on FacebookThe Hatters tried to sign Belfast boy Billy in 1950 but he opted to go to Division One Sunderland instead. When the Rokermen were relegated eight years later the Town got their man for £15000 and he proved a revelation on the right wing in the 1958-59 season as the Town fought through to the FA Cup final.
Fast, clever and elusive, Northern Ireland international Billy could not save Luton from relegation from the top flight on his own the following season and he moved to Everton in 1960 where he won a League Championship medal.
Billy’s second career came in management when he oversaw, amongst others, Plymouth and Everton s well as his country. Billy now lives in Southport in retirement.
