Everything Ron said was spot on and came true - he said we'd win the League and he said we'd be European Champs because of the natural status and size of the club. The Villa he took over was the most successful club in the country but fallen on hard times - he had the balls to tell the boardroom that Villa should be number one, no excuses. We haven't had that kind of thinking at the club since he left...Ellis was the guy who sucked the greatness out of us and pumped us full of mediocrity and excuses.
Took him six years to build the best team in Europe with very little money. Tough and uncompromising, a winner.....I've never really felt happy with any of the managers we've had since, Martin was decent as was Dean Smith, the rest were mediocre at best reflecting mediocre ownership. The current owners seem to be much more on the money although the Gerard appointment was a waste of 18months. UTV
Ron Saunders the greatest.
The true Messiah. His love for Aston Villa was sincere. A man who gave me some of my fondest memories.
He started everything that villa are now known for all around the world...
He oozed confidence in his own ability. Great manager. The club should've kept him.
No one will ever match Ron saunders man was brilliant just wished he'd stayed on for European cup final
Ron was Villa’s greatest manager.
Best of the best. Legend. Utv .
The great man.
Fantastic video he wasn't talking shit UTV!!!

I'm struggling to think of a player who could row with him at the time. He was legend.
Tony Morley gave him the bird everytime he scored. They never saw eye to eye but Saunders got the very best out of him
All hail Saunders.
Simply the best.
Better than all the rest
Villa legend - great manager.
Great football man
Promotion and League Cup winners in his first season! Legend!
Ron being interviewed by Trevor East, who was a sports comment or, on Tiswas. 😂👍😉👍
i think he was also the Phantom Flan Flinger
@@docca123 Who, Ron Saunders. He kept that quiet.😂👍😉💜💙💜💙💜
@@markmclachlan152 unfortunately not - i'm referring to Trevor East
Derby fan
How right he was!
this is the man who left Doug Ellis behind because he turned up 10 minutes late for an away match. the coach left without him. His card was marked
Can’t beat having a disciplinarian at the helm.
who was that interviewer???? I remember him. BTW, what a channel. Best on the internet.
Thanks Ray, Trevor East - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_East

Too true. In 2024 we have Emery, hopefully we can continue the dream
I'm not hard I'm honest. I don't take no shit and I will win.
