A FORMER rugby league "bad boy" is coming to Birchwood to give a talk on how he found God while coaching in Runcorn.

Former Wigan and Penrith Panthers loose forward Bill Ashurst is the latest speaker lined up as a guest by the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International.

Never one to shirk a tackle - or a confrontation with a referee - Bill found his faith while passing on his years of experience to players in the Halton town.

The talk, at Birchwood Golf Club, in Kelvin Close, kicks off at 7.30pm on September 18. For details, contact Stuart Cripps on 490731.
