Didn't bother with the link as I was aware of Big Ron taking a St Johns ambulance golf buggie  at the 1989 event for his own use for the day. Very big of him.

Great story.
BFR was very...special.

"Ron comes around the putting green, with a big cowboy hat on, champagned  up."

 It's pretty easy to believe that's exactly how it happened.

Very funny story.

Not one not two not three but four!

Deano is one that often gets forgotten when mentioning past players.  Top player and it just goes to show how good a side we were back then to attract players of that standard.

I remember him saying it was obviously a step down joining Villa from Liverpool when he signed. Never warmed to him after that.

Fair enough, But that been a fact, I like him more as , when he put the shirt on he was 100%, top professional.

I don't remember that, I actually remember him saying we were a massive club

[Meanwood Villa]

Didn't he say we were as big a club as Liverpool but didn't realise it? If we're going to criticise him then it should be for the goal droughts when we desperately needed goals in 93 and 95.

I remember him saying it was obviously a step down joining Villa from Liverpool when he signed. Never warmed to him after that.

I recall him saying  "Aston Villa are a far bigger club than Liverpool -they just haven't realised it yet."   

But then he wouldn't be the first footballer to talk bollocks. 

Always seems to be positive about us whenever I have seen him interviewed.
