Ryan Collinson's Photo Countdown

[Billy Whiz]

The dark blue is from Ryan's trousers and the light blue is from the socks of Michael right behind Ryan.

It's nice to see you having a guess at where the colours are from though. I'll try and make them a little more obscure

I have received more brilliant photos from Kayla - I can't wait for you to see them - so I'm doing 2 photos for the next couple of days.

Today's first photo is pretty self-explanatory and is of Ryan blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.



As you can see, Ryan was a little younger when this was taken but he has his trademark big smile.

Here is today's first Countdown photo of Ryan. It has him, aged 9, practicing for the parallel bars.



Here is today's second Countdown photo - well actually photos. A great big "Thank You" to Ryan for allowing these photos to be posted. It really adds to the Countdown when the family, and especially the actual Billy, get involved.

Thanks so much, David, for posting these unique photos and to Ryan and his Mum for kindly sharing them with all of us.

Fascinating to think that, when these were being taken, nobody had any idea what fame lay ahead just around the corner for young Ryan . Fate is, indeed, the Hunter.

Thank you for your comments Pat. I was beginning to think that nobody was looking at them

Not true B.W. We are greatly enjoying them, as with all of your countdowns.

Well we are in the final straight now so here is today's Countdown photo. I love this one and can see all the "Oh Bless" comments now.

Oh...well you know.

Ahh.......................

If you look deep into Ryan's eyes I think he is saying: "You know, Lord, I am trying to be a good boy but I hope you will understand that, when I become Billy, I will have to use some naughty language".
