General Discussion / Re: Ronnie Bacon

Really really sad news.

I always spoke to Ronnie whenever I saw him, he always looked fit and well. I usually asked after Kevin and his wife as I worked for the same company as them and later lived near them in the late 1980s.

I recall Ronnie decorating and wallpapering my parents house when I was young and also remember him playing for Kings Lynn.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

RIP Ronnie.

Extremely sad news. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this present time.

Great footballer and a great person too. My memories stretch back to the mid 1960s, I especially recall an evening match when the ball went out of play opposite the main stand, a young lad ran as fast as he could to retrieve the ball but Mick had beaten him to it, the sad look on the young lads face said it all but Mick handed the ball back to the young lad so he could throw it back to Mick again...........absolutely made the young lads night judging by the smile........what a kind and thoughtful gesture from Mick. TRUE GENTLEMAN.

Thank you for all the memories.

R.I.P Mick you will be dearly missed.

One of the original Heggsy ladderless window cleaner defenders if I recall correctly, still relatively young at 27.

News of former Linnets / John Whitney

John Whitney played about five games for Lynn back in the 2001-2002 season. A very accomplished central defender as I recall but I vaguely remember a serious knee injury accounting for his brief stay with Lynn.

Now in charge of Walsall
