      Absolutely gutted to hear the passing of Ronnie 'Bugsy' Moran, the last of the immortals,
      Ronnie Moran gave most of his life to LFC, from player to coach to interim Manager,
      Our history is steeped in success and there is absolutely no doubt that Bugsy played his part in bringing about the history we can look back on today,

      He was indeed Mr Liverpool

      My deepest condolences go out to his immediate family and friends.

      RIP Ronnie

      Has there ever been a more successful coach?

      Might just buy his book and settle down with a nice cup of tea and me slippers on.

      If anyone is suited to tell a story from Shanks to Kenny, he's the man.

      Any link for the book please? Thanks. I want to learn more about his influence of my beloved club.

      Love Ronnie Moran, everything great about this club is this, he was a part of it and its no coincidence, his attitude represented what was great about this club, the work ethic, the no one person is better, the general attitude of "hey, we have a job to do".

      He will be missed by not only us but a great many in the game. He was a character, a gentleman, and a stalwart of this game, and football has lost a gem not only of a great coach, but a great human being.

      RIP the Legendary Liverpool Man.

      It saddens me to hear about the death of Ronnie Moran,I saw Ronnie play when we were in the old first and second division in the 1950's and again under Shanks in the first division in the 1960's. He was Liverpool through and through and worked so well with Roy Evans as trainers and coaches of the reserves.R.I.P. Ronnie and thanks for the memories,this club owes you so much.

      Very much a big part of the successful Reds team I grew up on. His contribution can not be overplayed... a proper gent; a true great.

      R.I.P Ronnie.

      There's an hour long interview on Radio City Talk next Tuesday or Wednesday, 9am I think. John Keith interview with Ronnie. It'll definitely be worth a listen.

      Just heard a small excerpt before where Ronnie is talking about the modern game of football. He said, "football hasn't changed once you cross the white line".

      How true is that. You still have to put in honest graft, be clever and have a desire to always be better to be successful. Just like the great man Ronnie always used to drill into the many great Liverpool players over the decades.

      Legend is a word that sometimes gets overused, but not in this case.

      An absolutely fantastic club man, and an integral part of our history.

      Read a great story from Souness about Ronnie.

      "I was frightened of him," Souness admitted when speaking to Irish radio programme Off The Ball. "Let me tell you another story. We had played a Romanian team and I got involved with one of their players and I ended up doing something I shouldn't have done.

      "I threw a punch at him and he had to go off. So at the end of the game - and remember this is the Iron Curtain time - but at the end of the game at Anfield, I went off the pitch and started climbing the stairs. As I'm going up the stairs I can see guy.

      "He's broken his jaw, he's got ice packed into a towel and he's got it tied around his head. And I'm obviously chuckling at him. These two big guys in long leather coats appear from nowhere and start making their way towards me, up the stairs.

      "Again, from nowhere, Ronnie appears. Ronnie had a massive chest! He was a great, big powerful man, Ronnie. He said to them 'Okay then, what are you going to do about it?' with some blue language thrown at them and they thought twice about confronting me.

      "I was forever grateful for Ronnie preventing me from getting a back-hander that night.

      "We were pretty frightened of Ronnie Moran. He wasn't a bully, don't get me wrong, he wasn't a bully but when he kicked off he could be ferocious. He'll be sorely missed."

      RIP Ronnie.

      Great story that. Now how much of a hard case was Ronnie that he's confronted two blokes who are willing to have a go at someone as hard as Souness and make them back off!
