    The story I've always been told was that my Nan knew him and that my dad played football in the garden with Ron as they lived in West Derby and he called in on the way home from training.

    When we signed Ron Yeats Bill Shankly famously said

    “'Walk around him,' the manager told the media when Yeats was unveiled that summer. 'He’s a colossus.'
