Ronnie Moran

[Paulie Dangerously]

His son has stated he's passed away on Twitter

[Bjornebye]

Just looked. Its true. 

 

Gutted. What a man, gave his life for this club. Never forget his testimonial and how humble he was about it all. True LFC and Football legend. 

 

Rest in peace Ronnie, YNWA

Sad day, great man. YNWA

[Grinch]

Damn, got that sinking feeling when I seen the new thread started.

 

A great man who lived a long life and will go down in history as a part of the club he loved. Not a bad old life to have lived.

[Faustus]

Very sad news.

 

One thing that made me smile in recent years was during Kenny's second spell and Sky did a feature that played before one of our games (v Arsenal, I think it may have been) of Janie Redknapp going back to Melwood to have a wander round. On the raining pitch dressed in all the gear mucking in was Ronnie Moran, who got on camera for a chat. Just one of those moments that couldn't help but warm you inside.

 

Liverpool legend. No other description needed.

Great man

Everything right about the club

[Mook]

A real old fashioned type of legend & a sad day for Liverpool FC.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Rest in Peace.

 

Remember seeing a piece on him on LFCtv when he was at Melwood in his later days, watching the players train and chatting with Gerrard.

 

Seemed a straight forward, no nonsense type of bloke. No airs and graces. A bit of a throwback to a different era of football.

 

Sad news.

Another link with the real Liverpool gone.  Another reason I loved the club gone.  Ronnie was an essential part of our success especially in the 70s and 80s.  I don't believe we'd have been the club we were without him.  Really sad news.  

 

Thank you, and rest in peace Ronnie.

[Special K]

Sad news

 

RIP Ronnie

[Jurgens Red Army]

Absolutely gutted. A true legend of the game 49 years at the club were he did everything from player to caretaker manager, we'll never see his like again. RIP Bugsy YNWA.

[Tony Moanero]

RIP

Met him a few times, he was always the most humble and down to earth fella you could wish to speak to.

 

RIP Ronnie.  

[King Emlyn]

Summed up by Stringvest, sad day.

[Bogman]

You'll be in our hearts for always.

Mr Liverpool. RIP Ronnie you'll be sorely missed. 

[kalasoma]

He was part of the bootroom and that was all I knew about Ronnie Moran growing up. But to be a member of the braintrust that really put us on the world stage, puts me in awe of him. Makes me wonder whether we'll see the likes again. May he rest in peace.

[Einch]

Sad news. RIP Ronnie.

 

Massive part of what made us so strong.

[tenner]

Another legend gone.RIP Ronnie.

[magicrat]

Stringy summed it up perfectly

 

Any sadness should be outweighed by the celebration of what he did for the club.

 

RIP Ronnie

[Paulie Dangerously]

A fitting tribute would be to sing his name loud and proud before stuffing Everton in the next home game.  Proper flag day, old school chants, get stuck in and make him proud. 

 

Fucking bootroom style

[s(k)aturation]

Shankly, Paisley, Moran.  Can be mentioned, totally justifiably, in the same breath.

 

Ronnie's sadly taken his last.

 

RIP.

They simply don't make them like Ronnie anymore.

 

The word legend gets thrown about way too much - for Ronnie Moran it is completely fitting.

 

Thanks for being part of some of the greatest memories of my life, Mr Moran - just thanks.

 

YNWA.
