Alerted by a friend who listened to the original broadcast, I've just been listening to the repeat of the BBC Radio 4 programme The Last Word. It's their weekly obituary programme; and last Thursday's featured a tribute to Ronnie in which, in addition to playing some old clips of Ronnie speaking about parts of his career [including the story about Tom Finney which was in the LT article], the presenter [Matthew Bannister] also interviewed "Duggie". It doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know; but was good to listen to. Btw, it begins with a clip of the minute's clapping from the Chelsea game, which seemed to impress Matthew Bannister as a way of paying tribute. If anyone else wants to listen, the programme can be caught for a few days more via the BBC website and going to their iPlayer "Listen Again" page.

Let's hope that the reports that our new owners are planning to have the Ground re-named are wrong; and that they take this excellent suggestion on board instead.

I hope that there'll be some way all the tributes on here can be passed on to his family to let them know [as if they didn't already] the esteem in which we all held Ronnie.

May he Rest in Peace indeed. He was the cornerstone of the team I grew up watching in the late 1950s. Like many on here, I met him briefly in later years and felt I'd met not just a Rovers player but a Rovers fan too. You won't get many like him in years to come.
