RIP Ronnie. He was in the same nursing home as my mam, she said that he didn’t say much but swore a lot. 🫣
 
RIP Ronnie.

I remember him starting work at Ford Motor Company in Jersey Marine when I was working there. He'd just retired from playing, nowadays he'd have been a millionaire on retirement. Times certainly changed.
 
Remember his debut and the excitement that we actually had him playing for us. Being a child meant I expected a superstar and, of course, what we got was a good player kicked to bits. He really didn't deserve to be in the third division. No space and a bunch of talentless cloggers looking for a scalp. Can't remember which particular bunch of cloggers we were playing, as they were all much the same.

RIP Ronnie

Was gonna post the same.
Remember him being kicked all over the park and I think he went off. Remember him being fast as FK. Think he was our record signing at the time.
RIP Ronnie

Ronnie was one of life's jokers, and was one of the most genuine and generous men I had the pleasure of being in his company.
