Remember Ronnie,s first game as he came across the field some of the comments are unprintable I think it was shock myself included.what the hells this are we playing pensioners now. we're we wrong how can anyone forget him horizontal to the goal plucking the ball out of the air his reading of the game was fantastic many a player scratched his head with what they thought was a certain goal see this man appear at the right spot with timing supreme. He was a one off brilliant to watch.Happy birthday faither and god bless you
 
I have told many a story of Ronnie his bunnet with the walles rapped inside was the stuff of legends to watch him walk across to the goals bunnet on. He looked as if he had just finished a shift at the pit .nothing got to him He just got on with it a solid keeper and who left many happy memories behind

Why was he called faither. Digger?
 
It was because of his age Ithink he was about 34 when he joined from Newcastle a lot older than the rest of the team I beleave he was also a go to person for the team I think he was 39 when he finished
