On behalf of Ron, he has read all your kind words, and says a big thank you.

Regards to "Isn't he a Jehova's Witness nowadays?"
 he is no more a J W than he is a sikh, he has nothing to do with any 'religion'.
It was another cace or being miss quoted by thick reporters.

My apologies to the great man. I should have known that he'd have more sense.

Happy Birthday, Mr S.

He'll make it to 90 and beyond.

Do you want to bet against him?

Happy Birthday Ron.

The Championship season is a given, but i'll always be grateful for my favourite season of all - 1976/77.

Happy Birthday Ron.

The Championship season is a given, but i'll always be grateful for my favourite season of all - 1976/77.

Absolutely spot on, my favourite team as well.  As someone said on here previously, not sure there has been a better front six for Villa than Mortimer, Cropley (My fav of all), Cowans, Little, Gray and Deehan.   And added to those for injuries you had Carrodus and Graydon.   A truly wonderful attacking team and I'm convinced if we had had Jimmy Rimmer in goal and not had to play as many games, we may well have won the league 4 years before we did.

Happy Birthday Ron and many thanks for the interview you gave my mate and I for our school newspaper in 1979.  I won't forget you gave us the chance of a cuppa and a Fruit club biscuit with the players afterwards.

Those who are too young to remember him as our manager, you have no idea of what you missed.

UTV !!

I found it on the interweb. If you don't have the stuff to do it at home, stick it on a memory card and take it to Jessops or somewhere like that?
