    Winning the league and European cup with Aston Villa was quite some achievement. RIP.

    Actually I think he left before the European Cup final. I think it was Tony Barton in charge when they won it.

    Never ever heard him referred to as Big Ron. Strange as he was only 5' 9''.

    I wasn't certain that I was remembering it accurately either, afterall I had forgotten that he had left before the European Cup final but the tweets on the Aston Villa twitter feed confirmed it. Irony perhaps?

    You've probably got something there. I remember watching something about Villa and Saunders glory years, yes it was about Ellis. Cheers mate.
