Big Jim poleaxed Bill Ashurst with a haymaker of frightening
proportions in a night game against Wigan at Naughton Park.The
game was only a few minutes old and people were still coming
through the gate but Ashurst was intent on giving Jim the
bird and niggled him in an early couple of tackles.The big
fella saw the blue mist and retaliated in frightening style,dropping
Ashurst like a brick with an awesome right hander.He was walking
before the ref raised the red card.Poor Ashurst was left prostrate
on the deck and it was scary watching him receive treatment
looking at deaths door,his arms flailing.I still remember
the late comers asking 'is Mills not playing?'
SEE MILLS ENTRY 01 From Geoff @ Widnes he wrote on the 13-01-2004
Two clashes stand out in my memory. First against Wigan at
homein aleague game in the 1970's. Bill Ashurst, no small
man himself riled Jim until Jim just took matters in his own
hands. He was dispatched with a punch or two, at a play the
ball I think. Mills walked Ashurst was carried off on a stretcher
out cold. It is alleged on his return to the living he said"
Vinty can get someone else to rile him next time!" Karalius
was coaching Wigan at the time.
