[Godfrey Brian]

Sad news. There must be thousands of people tonight reminiscing about the great times he was responsible for bringing to their lives. 110% from everyone tomorrow.

"Do you want to bet against us?" should be his epitaph.

110% agree.

Sad day for all connected to our beloved club.

He was Aston Villa when I was a kid and always will be to me.

RIP Ron...

I am pretty sure there was a big twist in the title race in April 1981 when we went to Leicester and won whilst Albion beat Ipswich.

I cried at Highbury, I cried at Rotterdam. I’ve just cried now. So sad.
RIP Sir Ron. God bless you and your family

[Villa Lew]

Very sad day, our greatest manager, thanks for everything you'll never be forgotten at Villa Park.

RIP Ron

[Tayls_7]

Never been a more capable manager since.

[BC54 VFC]

Far and away the best manager in my 53 years of supporting Aston Villa. Will never forget Highbury 1981 and Rotterdam 1982. RIP Ron Saunders you will never be forgotten.

[Scovilla]

RIP.

Hard as nails.
Tony Morley said of him “ if we didn’t have a bust up once a week, he’d think we’d fallen out”.
Disgraceful he’s not Sir Ron.

  Any time we've gone through tough times as a club, Ron's achievements have kept me going and believing.  The fact that I never, ever, doubt Aston Villa are capable of being the very best club in England and Europe again is entirely down to the great man and that 110% will to win that he had.  My sincere sympathy to his family and friends.
