Billy Ayre was the scariest man to ever play professional football.

He was here, there and everyfookingwhere and he looked like a cold-blooded killer from a spaghetti western. Good combination for a defender.

Billy Ayre was one of the toughest players we ever had at Pools. A good bloke though who was well respected wherever he went. I remember him playing for Mansfield at the Vic after he had left Pools and we were giving him a load of abuse in the town end at a corner. He put his fingers up in the shape of a 1-0 as they were winning at the time - we beat them in the end though I think.

Depends which of these games it was.

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3040

4-1 win

http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=2970

0-4 defeat

He scored in both.

That 1984 game..I think I'm right in saying that all 22 players were "Free Transfers", quite a rarity in those days.

It must have been that 4-1 game - I remember we turned the tables on them after they had taken the lead - although I couldn't remember the exact result. I just remember shouting to Billy Ayre - so much for your 1-0 lead now.....

Went to see steve kindon in the corner flag many years ago and there was a photo of billy ayre on the wall and kindon said this guy was the hardest man he had played against and kindon was a big man.

Bob Newton always said the same thing and although he was a hard man he was also well liked wherever he went. He died just over 10 years ago and although he wasn't a superstar Billy is still fondly remembered by football fans throughout the country. clappp

Apart from when he left the boozer with his car keys in his hand.

Wasn't around for the Newton Era but I always remember what my dad said about him.. My dad used to look after a pub in the town (can't remember which one) and Bob used to go in and say "I'm only having a half, I've got training tomorrow".... He would then go onto having 16 halves..
