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"!

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

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