Billy Hungrecker- RIP

Heart attack in Las Vegas a few days ago apparently.
Sad news for any fans of the 1980s Worthing Bears.

OMG that's a real shock. He was a GREAT player and had been / was involved in local junior basketball.

RIP Billy

Absolute legend. What a player - 73 points vs Plymouth!!!!

 

[Bozza]

This makes me sad.

Briefly, in that era, I was probably more into Bears basketball than the Albion.

Err Worthing Thunder, replaced the Bears. The Bears folded leaving many debts in Brighton, the Thunder are well run and played in the BBL for 3 seasons but have dropped back to the EBL for the time being (due to financial constraints). They appeared on Sky twice last year.
