Tyto Alba Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Wednesdays best ever keeper according to my Dad. I was just a bit too young to remember him playing for us, but I do remember his brother Peter. RIP Ron, Wednesday legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Minute's silence vs Fulham imperative. A true club legend. A MUST .RIP to a truly Owls Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyto Alba Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes, minutes silence very justified in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Only Wednesday player with a World Cup medal! There are too many minutes silences these days but Ron certainly HAS to have one. And a minutes SILENCE please, not applause, so we can reflect, respect and honour a great goalkeeper. But for the almost superhuman Gordon Banks he would certainly have got more than his 33 caps.

Weshallovercome Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sad news, one of Wednesdays all time greats.......was a privilege to have watched him play. RIP Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charlton Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I never saw him play but I have i spoken to many who did. A Wednesday legend is how most described him as well as a fabulous keeper! A massve loss to all connected to SWFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Very sad. Proper legend. Good age at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Very sad news. A true legend in a time when players were not paid ridiculous amounts of money. He will forever be remembered as Wednesday's greatest keeper and one of England's greatest ever keepers. Ron deserves a fitting tribute, a minute's silence or applause and a stand or a statue or something in his honour too. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieB Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 RIP - obviously way before my era but always known that he's referred to as our greatest ever keeper. The club definitely needs to sort out a minutes silence for the Fulham game. This. Before my time too but any Wednesday fan worth their salt would know about him. A REAL Wednesday legend. RIP Ron.

everydayiswednesday Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The first goalkeeper i watched as a wednesdayite when i was a kid, others have come and gone & none were ever as good as Ron Springett.. A true Sheffield Wednesday legend. I hope our new owners honour Ron in the way he should be. Sad day. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Never saw Ron Springett play but i was brought up knowing that he was a legend for The Wednesday. A sad lost and my condolences to his family. That iconic photo of him diving in from of the empty North Stand is how i'll remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefdave Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 All my heroes are leaving me. Big John Ritchie,then John Fantham and now Ron. These men and others like them shaped my life and made me a Wednesdayite. Ron was the only keeper I've ever seen dive full length and catch the ball in one hand. RIP another hero.
