Happy birthday Ron. That 3-part interview with JW was excruciatingly awkward on Pravda, but compelling viewing.
Paraphrasing here but:
JW: what's the secret of a successful team ron?
RS: shape
JW: shape??
RS: shape. The team's got to have shape
JW: .............
RS............
Marvellous stuff.
The man's a legend. (Ron, not Jack).

Met Mr Saunders at the Stourbridge Lions club which met at the old bus garage social club.
Most of our lot were about 17 and we were utterly in awe of him. There had been some trouble away the weekend before his visit and he spoke very sternly about what should happen to the perpetrators (us basically!) and my one mate hid at the back of the room the entire evening convinced Ron would single him out.
When I spoke to him for minute or so I was delighted that he seemed not to be so firece but had a real impish twinkle about him.
In our house me and the lad stand and salute if his name is ever mentioned ;-) Wife thinks we are mad...

Agree with everything said so far - Happy Birthday Ron - I'm glad Barry Davies and everyone else didn't "bet against us" after that Ipswich game.
Some superb memories in his 7 and a half years at the helm and I was fortunate enough to meet him a function to launch a new book after winning the League Championship, he was very polite, sincere and a gentleman to talk to on a one to one.
As has already been said "do we need someone like him now"

He makes it onto the Guardian birthday list (not sure Deadly gets on it).
Shares a birthday with Jim Rosenthal.
