Happy Birthday Ron Saunders.

[The Laughing Policeman]

The great man is 83 today. I only met him once a few years ago and trying to speak to him I became a gibbering idiot. How he managed to put up with my ramblings for 10 minutes I'll never know.
Thank you for the best times in my life as a Villa fan.

Happy birthday Ron.

Thirded. Especially seasons 75/76 and 76/77. That first season after we were promoted often gets overlooked in favour of the next one, but it was a fucking brilliant season to be at Villa Park. Especially if it was your first at the back of the Holte End with your mates and sans adult accompaniment.

Happy Birthday Ron, you bugger; you're the reason I'm so bloody depressed now.

Happy birthday Super Ron.

74/75 wasn't too shabby either. Brilliant home and away support, promotion and a cup in the bag. We only lost once in the league from the beginning of January to the end of the season, scoring 18 goals in our last five games, conceding only one.

Just to add, our home record that season was amazing:

Played: 21
Won: 16
Drew: 4
Lost: 1
Goals: 47
Against: 6

Happy Birthday Sir Ron. As a young man I didn't properly appreciate what you did for us at the time  but I do now. Thank for it all  but like Percy 75/76 was such a brilliant season and we need someone like you again now.
