Sir Billy Boston, rugby league's first ever knight.

Boston was the definition of a trailblazer. He was the first black player to represent Great Britain.

With an unbelievable 478 tries in 488 matches, he is still Wigan Warriors' greatest ever try-scorer.

56-years after Boston last stepped foot on the rugby pitch, his immeasurable impact on the game is still felt.

Rest in peace, Sir Billy Boston.

This thread, I believe, is not necessarily for celebrities.

As for this chap, I've never heard of him until he was in the news.
