Billy Smith - A Saint From Head To Toe - book

Helen Elward, author of Billy Smith - A Saint From Head To Toe:

"Billy Smith, one of the most talented, respected, and universally admired figures in Rugby League's history, is renowned for his toughness, tenacity, and versatility."

"He was an incredible footballer, and a dominant force in St George, New South Wales and Australian teams. Saints fans remember with pride their dynamic Little General's trademark short diagonal dashes, his marvellous passes, his ferocious tackling, and his great heart and love of the game."

"He lasted 17 seasons in first grade, establishing a club record of 296 grade games, and gave everything but his life for the red and whites. His career is one of the greatest survival stories in the history of the game."
