Completely passed me by! £50,000 for the legend he became, 43 goals in that first season with us and later described by Sir Matt Busby as "the greatest centre forward in Europe". How much would we have to pay for someone of that quality now? I would guess about 1,000 times what we paid in 1966!

I used to love watching Ron playing in the Home Internationals. It was the highlight of my summer.

I remember one game, in which Scotland beat Wales 5-3, and Ron scored with two headers of total contrast, unless I'm mixing my games up. My memory tells me that one goal was a looping, trademark, header and the second was a flat, bullet header from the near edge of the penalty box.
He could head the ball harder than I could kick it.
 
Shame he's going to miss the opener but Targett is upto the job of stepping in. Vvd or Jose would be a bigger loss.
 
We have been written off by the wise heads of talkSports mid morning show as we haven't replaced anyone of any note 7 won't score enough as lost lots of goals in Pelle and Mane. How long can Saints keep selling their best players and loosing their managers?
Lucky to finish 10th according to Colin Murray and his mates

10th seems a fair position.

Damn.

Not much point turning up this week then - unless we think Watford might be fellow relegation candidates and this counts as an early six-pointer
