Billy Smith - A Saint From Head To
Toe

Historian Helen Elward and Graeme `Changa' Langlands have released the biography of Billy Smith. The biography is called `Billy Smith - A Saint From Head To Toe'.

The great Kevin Ryan launched the book at the St.George Leagues Club today (14/4/2004).

Smith's contribution to St.George is summed up in the book's introduction:

"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, NSW and Australian teams. Saints fans remember with pride their dynamic Little General's trademark short diagonal dashes, his marvellous passes, his feroc ous 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."

The biography is on sale at the St.George League

William John Smith (born December 12, 1950) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He won four Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders. In 2017 Smith was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history.

Smith was the first NHL goaltender to be credited with scoring a goal. On November 28, 1979, in a game between the Islanders and the Colorado Rockies, the Rockies’ goaltender left the ice for an extra attacker after a delayed penalty call was called on the Islanders. The puck deflected off of Smith’s chest protector into the corner. Rockies rookie Rob Ramage picked up the puck and accidentally made a blind pass from the corner boards in the opposing zone to the blue line. Nobody was there to receive the pass, and so the puck sailed all the way down the length of the ice
