RIP Fearless Freddie

Posted by slipperytoad as Personalities

Freddie Wiliams

My thoughts go out to the family of legendary bookmaker Freddie Williams who died of a heart attack yesterday aged 65.

In a world where bookies are more risk managers, Freddie was one of a dying breed who would stand by his opinion and was prepared to put his hard earned on the line in taking bets from anyone who thought otherwise.

I never had a chance to meet the man, but It would have been an honour to have retained a losing betting slip in his memory.
