Rest In Peace, Bill Arthur

St.Helens R.F.C. are saddened to learn about the passing of rugby league broadcaster Bill Arthur, aged 68, following a battle with prostate cancer.

As a mainstay part of Sky Sports’ rugby league coverage across four decades, Bill reported pitch side or commentated on many of Super League’s biggest and best moments.

For Saints supporters, Bill’s voice will be forever remembered and attached to some of our most successful moments of recent years, such as Jack Welsby’s dramatic, last-minute winning try in the 2020 Grand Final, or our fourth Grand Final victory in a row at Old Trafford in 2022.

Over the years in his roles at Sky Sports, Bill interviewed and spoke with many Saints players and coaches, with his love for the sport clear for all to see.

Everyone at St.Helens R.F.C. would like to extend our condolences to Bill’s family, friends, and colleagues at Sky Sports at this very sad time.

Rugby League Commercial & The Rugby Football League are inviting supporters to join a minute of applause ahead of all this weekend’s Betfred Super League fixtures.
