“Trips to India and the Far East with Breeda in the early 90s sparked a spiritual outlook on life and he returned to embrace vegetarianism and would meditate daily to Indian music.”🙏May you be reborn another Villa legend Ron.🙏No one can prove what goes on beyond death, but many feel there is something beyond. I usually say in these moments that it certainly can’t do any harm, and many of us feel it can do a lot of good for the person on their journey beyond to send him our love and well wishing. I certainly believe Ron will be travelling beyond with so much love and appreciation behind him, and I hope feeling it. Like others I grew up with him as my manager and was privileged to have him make my childhood simply glorious. Deeply deeply grateful for his sustained hard work and wondrous achievements. I’m going to have to raid the childhood photo albums to see if I have some with him, certainly glad to have got his autograph at Bodymoor Heath a few times.Thank you for the joy Ron. Love & condolences to the Saunders family.
For me, nothing will ever surpass being in that heaving mass in Highbury at the Clock End. He gave us that.

I am stunned that no one else seems to be bothered that the pre match tribute was so half arsed. We managed a better pre match tribute to Bobby Robson!I have been at many pre match applause hWhere fans have started applauding during the announcement but I haven’t see one before where they’ve decided that this counts as the applauses and just got ready to kick off right after the announcer finished saying ‘will start and end on the referees whistle’.
