William (Bill) Woolsey was an accomplished league player. Bill is touted as one of the toughest Kiwi league players in history. He once suffered a head wound that required 30 stitches. When a reserve ran on to replace him, legend has it Woolsey grabbed him by the jumper and marched him from the field.
