One of Sir bill's best signings. Yeats would run through a brick wall for the club..and the wall would come off worse. Fantastic strength, player of his time but still a great pillar of strength. Served the club off the field as well. Very sorry to hear that news.

RIP Ron Yeats

A gentle giant of a man. One of the first cogs in shanks red machine. When i was a kid my grandad used to talk about Ron all the time. And he knew a player when he saw one.

Rip big man. Absolute legend of this club.

Rest easy 'Rowdy' , what a player to build a team around, loyal, strong and gave everything he had every game ,sadly missed ,my condolences to all family and friends and colleagues ynwa

The very definition of a gentle giant....An LFC Icon who served us with distinction.....He'd have still been playing when my older Brother first took me to Anfield, though I have no memory of the game or players. RIP Big Man.

Rip Ron, for such a big man had such a quiet voice and manner, was and still is the best after dinner speaker I have had the pleasure to listen to.

Could tell a story with the best of them. Told this tale of Shanks early on.

"We were Playing 5-a-side out in the car park and Shanks lets one fly, seems to go over the box we used for goal posts, Shanks start shouting * goal..what a goal*.....went over the box Boss...*never*....and Chris Lawler was close by and he was known for being a very quiet chap...so Shanks says *we can trust Chris....Chris was it a goal*................."No Boss...went over the box"................Shanks come back in a flash...." ....* Chris you never speak.....but when yer do...yer tell f'kin lies......*

"Whole lot of us were on the floor in bulk..."

RIP the colossus

It was only a few days ago I was watching Ron tell the story how he first met Shankly in a hotel in Scotland and how it was a surprise visit when he got the call that was set up by one of the colonel's of the British Army Ron used to play for down in Aldershot.

This was the main guy that made it all happen, from 2nd division champions to first division champions in a few years.

RIP Ron.
