Yes Lamb I did. I'm quite shaken by his death. I thought we'd made Ron's later years a little bit easier, but I always feared he'd miss his wife really badly, when she died, very much keeping her own fatal illness out of our knowledge so that we could concentrate on getting Ron the medical aid he required. Like a lot of spouses, Ron was devoted to his partner and I can only guess he missed her too much. I wish we'd had a chance to get him over to St Mary's in the new era. Not to be. RIP friend.
Just like to remind people that Ron was absolutely astonished at the love, generosity and memories of Saints fans. He knew he'd been a great player, but he was also a shy, private person too and just had wonderful memories of playing for his clubs, Southampton FC in particular, in his later years. He jumped higher than many people ever did, both physically and metaphorically. Most of us will remember him doing just that.
