Title: ... p60 - Jim Mills& Bill Ashurst - further reports on Bills wellbeing... by Dennis Golding, Widnes

Jim Mills regularly produced performances that deserved my vote but the particular game I remember was against Wakefield Trinity when he responded to a head butt by Bill Ashurst by simply shaking his head and then by seemingly knocking him out with one punch but with amazing speed (for a big man) threw another punch whilst Ashursts unconcious body was still on its way down to the ground.

This incident has been reported before and I must admit that the opposition might have been Wigan but I still think it was later in Bills career when he joined Trinity.
