    As a youngster growing up in Sydney I remember seeing Bill play against my team of choice ,the mighty magpies. In the mid 70s I moved to Tamworth. He had retired by then ,pretty sure his son Grant (I think) was playing for West Tamworth. My memories of the Bischoff family are of wonderful people, friendly to all and happy to be around rugby league and rugby league people.
