As a member of the English Football Hall of fame, ‘The Tank’ appeared for Oxford United over 500 times, was their Captain 1962-1968, and as manager Big Ron won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 1983 and 1985, and has a jaw-dropping string of victories and achievements to his credit.
His managerial prowess is legendary, turning around a poorly performing Manchester United, strategically buying players from other clubs, navigating the turbulent landscape of football of the 80’s and 90’s, and includes stints at Atlético Madrid, Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa who he led to second place in the FA premiere league season of 1992-1993.
Ron had an extensive career with ITV Sports commentating on their live matches and coverage of Champions League, European Championships, and World Cup matches.
He has a detailed knowledge of how the clubs work, what their needs are, what players needs and wants are, and how to get the very best results for all.
A colourful character, Ron became involved in Kokoon in 2010.
