Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is set to earn a reported £11m a year after taking over Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG.

Ron was 9 foot 5....easily... the word colossus has never been more apt - they simply don't or never will make them like that again...

 

He was actually 6' 2'' which by today's standards is nothing but we all remember him as a massive bloke that dwarfed opponents . Footballers have grown in proportion to their wages

Loved Big Ron as a kid and was fucking livid when that cunt Atkinson had the temerity to nick his epithet , The only things big about Atkinson was his gob, his girth and his wallet.

The real big Ron will be remembered as a footballing legend whilst fake Ron will go down as a racist tosser.

Never knew he was that small, picture says it all now.

 

Yep, but having said that the photo is a bit deceiving, it looks way more than the just under a foot difference, probably due to a slope on the pitch or something.

Bobby Collins was 5'3"

Good player according to my Dad,  Must have been 66 or earlier that photo as Bremner took over the captaincy that year. He was a hell of a player. Hard a fucking nails and a dirty little bastard but he would die for the cause. All on about 40 tabs a day a well

I'm even to young to remember his playing career at any decent level mate. I remember him being mentioned a lot in the early 70's by football commentators, pundits and especially Don Revie.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember quite clearly Revies famous team of the late sixties/early seventies,  Bremner and Giles were a force of nature in the middle of the park,

with some horrible cunts like Norman Hunter and Jack Charlton at the back,

I remember all that, just not Bobby Collins playing days.

I saw Rowdy at Anfield a few times a couple of years ago. He was clearly loving the pastings that we used to hand out in 2014.
