Ron Yeats RIP

[Judge Jules]

Ron Yeats, first of our many great Scottish CBs, one of Shanks' first signings and our skipper during the earliest of our glory years (the day Shanks introduced him to the press he invited them to "come and take a walk around him"), has died at the age of 86 after a long battle with Alzheimer's.

Rest in peace, big man.

Rest in peace. YNWA.

Probably also worth mentioning he was our chief scout for a very long time.

(shouldnt this be in the football forum?)

 

[Modo]

He was a fantastic Scout on FM.
RIP

 

[Mojo]

I remember hearing his recommendation was instrumental in bringing that other man-mountain Sami Hyppia to the club.

Wasn't sure which forum to pick TBH. Mods, by all means move the thread if you think it necessary.

A foundational signing by Shanks in developing his first great league-winning team. RIP the Colossus.
