    The best ever Barnsley player it's been my privilege to watch and admire.

    You're quite a young un then???

    Tommy Taylor, Danny Blanchflower, Johny Kelly, Cec McCormack.....think I'll stop there, giving my age away! (I also greatly admired Ronnie Glavin).

    Oh aye, I'm a spring chicken(!):D
    My late Father's favourite ever player was Johnny Kelly (he started watching Barnsley in the late 1920's), until Ronnie Glavin arrived. From then on Glav was his Number 1.

    A genius. The best player I’ve ever seen play for us by some way.

    I doubt Glasgow Celtic would release a player of his ability in this day and age.

    Don't wish to be cynical, but how long would we hold on to him these days? Absolute privilege to have him at our club ..

    His birthday should replace Christmas because he actually lives.
    LONG LIVE THE KING!

    The best attacking Scot since Robert the Bruce.

    They can’t say that football’s boring.......

    For those who never saw him, don’t believe it when people tell you how good he was. He wasn't that good. He was better.

    True and if they did we wouldn't stand a chance of signing him.

    Happy birthday Ronnie.

    A scandal that a player of his ability only got one Scottish cap. They must have been swarming with midfield talent :D

    Fantastic player and an example of setting your teams up to take full advantage of individual ability
