Ron Saunders RIP

[garyshawsknee]

What a sad day. The man gave us an identity and our best years.

Saunders was Villa and Villa were Saunders when I was growing up. Never equalled, never to be forgotten.

RIP Ron. The best manager in my lifetime

Absolutely. He brought times I never thought I’d see at the Villa. Thank you Ron

Ah, fuck.

RIP Ron.

[PeterWithesShin]

Absolutely gutted, RIP Super Ron.

[Damo70]

He scared me as a kid and even though he was getting frail he still scared me as an adult in the interview he gave for AVTV a while back. The man was and always will be an absolute legend.

I remember the interview he gave to Gary Newbon on the evening we won the title.

Newbon - "Are you going to smile now Ron"?
Saunders - "Life isn't all about smiling Gary"!

No words.
RIP

For me, nothing will ever surpass being in that heaving mass in Highbury at the Clock End.  He gave us that.

[Jon Crofts]

The full 110%, RIP Ron, a legend of a man.

[Exeter 77]

A giant of Aston Villa. A man who was rightly both feared and revered.

[BC Villain]

The greatest.  Let's do it for Sir Ron tomorrow
