I wasn't even a twinkle in the milkmans eye when Greenwood managed us, but a part of football and the West Ham I love seems to have gone :cry: :cry:

I wasn't alive in his era but by all accounts he is responsible for the reputation for the great footballing club that we have. A very sad day for West Ham.

RIP Ron.

A true legend of the game. A visionary and a gentleman.
Thank you Mr. West Ham.

Also if there are 7000 kumbers I think this should end up the longest thread ever in tribute to a man who has done more for the spirit of our club than any other.

Very sad news about Ron.

My condolences to his family and all his friends.

Now gone to see his old mate Billy Nick.

RIP

At least it was nice that he passed away when things are so positive at the club, with a bright future and everyone feeling behind the team.

RIP Ron
Totally agree, nice sentiments mate.

Also totally agree with CTK on clapping. The man had a full and successful life in football, celebrate this and show appreciation. You will hear me clapping claps on Monday if you cock an ear towards the Channel :wink:

My Dad always harps on that if Keegan and Brooking had been fit for '82 Greenwood would have led us to victory.

Too many posts to quote from above to share my opinion.

Just thank you Ron for being the reason I love West Ham.
You invented good football over here.

Best Wishes to the Greenwood family.

RIP Ron - God Bless. :cry:

Ron was the Manager when I first started to follow the club. Any young fan who grows up watching football the Ron Greenwood way is very lucky. A special man.

RIP :(
