Sky Sports rugby league commentator, Bill Arthur, has died at the age of 68
Sky Sports today confirms the incredibly sad news that legendary after a long battle with prostate cancer. Bill died peacefully on Wednesday surrounded by his family and inspired many with his courageous battle against the disease which he was diagnosed with in 2011. Bill was a much-loved and respected member of the Sky Sports family who will be missed terribly by his friends and colleagues.
Twenty-four hours later he was calling a match at Widnes and then was immediately back on a plane for his return to Sydney, to continue the Tri Nations Tour! It hardly took a feather out of him. He also travelled to the other side of the world in 2002 to witness and describe Great Britain's huge defeat in a one-off Test against the Aussies also in Sydney. A difficult task for any English fan to bear - but he carried it off magnificently.
