“He was truly wonderful,” Thompson said on Wednesday. YNWA”Ī book about Moran’s career – appropriately titled Mr Liverpool – was launched a fortnight ago with Evans, Carragher and the European Cup-winning captain Phil Thompson among those in attendance. I know I speak for all of the current players when I say that we are all deeply saddened by Ronnie’s passing and the greatest tribute we can pay to him is to give everything we’ve got for Liverpool Football Club just as he did each and every single day during the 49 years he spent here. I wasn’t lucky enough to work with Ronnie but I had the great fortune of being in his company on the occasions when he came to Melwood to walk around the training pitch and although we all regarded him as a true great, he was as humble and down to earth as anyone you could ever come across. He wrote: “The reason being captain of Liverpool Football Club is such a huge honour is because legendary figures like Ronnie Moran held it before I did. Liverpool’s current captain, Jordan Henderson, paid a touching tribute to Moran on Instagram. Although it might be understated, and he might be understated, he made a massive contribution.” “His contribution to the football club should never, ever be underestimated. He was there at the outset with Bill Shankly, and the football club as it stands today is because of what Bill Shankly set in place and Ronnie was a big part of that. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that in the most successful spell in the club’s history, Ronnie Moran was of great importance to it. I don’t think anybody that worked with him during his spell at Liverpool will have anything but total admiration and respect and gratitude for what he did for them. He twice served briefly as caretaker-manager, in 1991 after Dalglish’s shock resignation, and in April 1992 after Souness underwent heart surgery.ĭalglish said on Wednesday: “The contribution and help he gave me was enormous and I’ll be eternally grateful for that – both as a player and a manager. Such was the respect he commanded as a coach, one with a no-nonsense reputation, that successive Liverpool managers from Paisley to Fagan, Kenny Dalglish to Graeme Souness and Evans kept Moran on the backroom staff until his retirement in 1998. By then he was part of the Anfield boot room alongside Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Reuben Bennett and Tom Saunders, and a permanent fixture on the Liverpool bench as the club enjoyed unprecedented success at home and abroad. He signed as a professional three years later, earning £14 a week during the season and £11 a week in the summer, and formally retired from playing in 1968-69. Moran was born in Crosby on Merseyside and joined his boyhood club on a part-time basis in 1949 while serving as an apprentice electrician. Very sad news with the passing of Ronnie Moran this morning, a legendary figure & learnt me & others an awful lot. The managers, the four or five great managers that started with Bill Shankly, Ronnie Moran was a big part of that.” The former Liverpool defender also tweeted: “The man who decided at 18 I should play centre back before anyone else had even thought of it. “Ronnie Moran would be close to number one. “There are a lot of legendary figures involved at Liverpool football club in the history,” Carragher said on Wednesday. His remarkable impact extended over the careers of nine Liverpool managers –from George Kay to Roy Evans – and he was first invited on to the coaching staff by Bill Shankly in 1966. He won the First and Second Division titles during his 379 appearances for Liverpool between 19 and as part of the famed Anfield boot room, was a key influence behind the scenes as the club won four European Cups, 13 league championships, five FA Cups, five League Cups, two Uefa Cups and one European Super Cup. Ronnie's ass needed to be under the jail.He served the club as player, captain, reserve-team coach, first-team coach, physiotherapist and caretaker manager for 49 years. And she had the nerve to be begging other girls to do Junior's bachelor party knowing that she probably sent other girls to Junior and probably set them up the same way she did Ebony. But let Ronnie tell it her and Diamond was more than just "friends". And then Ronnie bold ass tried to do again but then the shooting at the nightclub happened. She punched Trix in the face for a reason. Who knows if Trix, and those Asian men had took turns on Diamond while she was passed out. Ronnie asked them what else did they want to see which leads me to believe that they did a lot more to Diamond that night than what we actually saw. we didn't know why she said that until they showed the scene with Ronnie, Trix, and then Asian business men. It was implied throughout the movie even when the bartender asked Diamond if she wanted a drink and Diamond said "you know I don't drink anymore".
