MancWanderer Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I remember the name, along with Ronnie Phillips, from my first full season (72/73) but have no recollection of either of them as players RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted June 8, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2020 Phillips was still there following season Every kick off was rolled back not midfield and leathered diagonally to where the 18 yard line would hit the touchline and Phillips had to get under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) RIP Ralph , not the quickest but fashioned himself a good career . Scored a belter against Trashmere . One of Jimmy Armfield signings . Saw him a couple of years ago walking along the concourse outside the ground instantly recognisable still had flowing locks & dressed like a High Vegas roller .

I  remember him playing under Jimmy Armfield but I also have more recent memories of him Met him at  the Charity Sportsmans Dinners that the Ex Wanderers Players Association  hold each year  ( am sure others on here will have done likewise) He was different He was a real character - If someone had said he had driven over on his Harley and he once played in a 70s rock band you would have believed them  He had style , he had a glint in his eye and he was one of those people that when he walked in a room you noticed him - he came across as someone who lived life A lovely man RIP RW    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted June 8, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2020 72/73 was my first proper season & I couldn't picture him either, yet obviously Ronnie Phillips is etched in my memory 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted June 9, 2020 Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 I do remember him. Didn't really make a name for himself with us but glad to see he had a decent career overall. Wasn't his replacement Hugh Curran? Hugh must have been the easiest footballer to nutmeg in the history of the game. Another white gone. RIP.
