fredmciverslovechild Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Him and Gerry Young were my two big heroes growing up. Was certainly the best Wednesday goalie I have seen. Awful news. RIP Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bagelybear Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 RS was my dads era and he said he was the best keeper hes ever seen in blue & white. interesting that hes pictured collecting his world cup winners medal wearing a wednesday tie..or is it that he was an owl at the time? either way its great to see. sad loss RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 RIP Ron. As others have said, without doubt the best keeper Wednesday have ever had. The first one I ever saw in a 1st Division game back in the 60s and in my mind never surpassed. Sincere condolences to his family. There will never be another as good.

vulva Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Never saw him play, but an iconic name in the clubs history. RIP Ron. I'm sure the club will recognise this passing in the most appropriate fashion. May also be worth considering a similar tribute on here, by way of a 1 hour posting restriction?

asteener1867 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I know this is going to sound like an old bloke tellin' young 'uns how to suck eggs... but 90% of the balls you see todays Keepers flap and punch out...Springett used to catch 'em.... Even with a 6ft 2 centre forward hanging around his neck...He really was that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
