Dollar Bill

Name: Billy Singleton
Height: 6'7
Position: Forward
College: St Johns
Signed: 1997/98 & 2000/01

Big Billy Singleton is a true Riders and BBL legend, having captained the Double winning team in 2000 in his second spell with the club after initially joining in 97-98.
6'7 Singleton was unstoppable in the low post at times, he could finish to a high percentage close in and rebound heavily too. While not being the most mobile guy on court, Billy sure had the quickest hands in the business and he used his famous quarterback launch pass to great effect many times, usually to set Purnell Perry off on a flying mission.
Billy has also played for Birmingham, Thames Valley, Scottish Rocks [winning the play-offs] and Chester during his time in the BBL.
