Thanks for posting the Whitehead penned obituary, I’ve been looking forward to reading that.

Just been to Villa Park and signed the book of condolance for Ron. Very touching. Bit surprised that the book was only about a 3rd full but it might not be the first one. RIP Ron.

It’s Thursday morning - most people are at work. I imagine it’ll get fuller at the weekend.

Just had a reply from Lee Preece, re. my complaint about the Ron Saunders ‘tribute’. Not sure how to show a link to it, so I’ve taken three pics of it!.

To be fair to the club, their explanation of why it went awry is exactly what I thought had happened too.
