Steve Bone

[GazzaBTFC]

News has just come through that former Billericay captain and legend Steve Bone died last week after a two year battle with cancer. Steve was a fantastic player, a brilliant captain and a defender in the Swaine mold...solid as a rock and scored goals!!! He was part of the Vase winning teams of the '70's.

 

Most of all, he was also a gentleman on and off the pitch.

 

Our thoughts go towards his family.

I remember Boney ! He was one of the true heroes of that era in the clubs history . When you are a kid certain things make an impression on you and i will never forget the vase final with Boney celebrating .

 

My condolences go to his family

What very sad news. I remember regularly watching the great side of the 1970s and Steve Bone was a key part. A gentle giant and I can't remember him ever being booked even though he was a centre half. It is at times like this that you realise how old you are...it seems like only yesterday that I was watching that great team play....in front of average crowds of 1,000+...in the Essex Senior League!

I too was a regular in those heady days before moving abroad. If I remember Steve was joint manager with Arthur Coughlan in 79. God speed Boney.

So sad to hear of Steve Bone's death RIP.

 

I still remember the good old days of the vase victories. Sometimes wonder how the other players of them days are doing now eg: Dougie(3 Wembly goals)Young,John Pullin,Fredie Claydon,Billie Bingham,Stevie Legg ect.
