Former Widnes Stand Off Ken Gill has passed at the age of 76
Classy player. RIP
Great player who never had the chance to show his full potential at Widnes. I remember him being almost decapitated with a stiff arm. A dreadful "tackle". He was never the same after that.
RIP to a good player, As I recall he was in the great Salford team but did not do a lot for us - not sure he played a lot of games
Ken Gill was outstanding for Widnes in a brief spell of 17 games.He was brilliant and played a major role in the title winning run of 77/78.I don't know anyone else who recalls that he never did much for Widnes.Classy and skilfull stand off and it's a shame he wasn't here for longer.

100% correct there Sinbad.
@steelviking no, definitely Ken Gill. I still remember the instant all these years on. A table like that stays in the memory, it was almost enough to kill him.
Yes,it was Billy Benyon in a game v Warrington at Widnes.Upended him,head over heels.
