Like many posters I think Rafferty was the best header of a ball I have ever seen.  Anywhere in the box he could ram it home (the ball) harder than some could kick it. Perhaps not so good with the ball at his feet.  Certainly my first hero.

R.I.P.  Ron

He can be called a Grimsby Town legend.

I met him in the 'little club' once, after he had left the Town.
Such a nice and unassuming man.

Ahh - my boyhood hero, RIP Ron.
Think Mike Cullen is now the only survivor of that iconic forward line.

Ron was my boyhood hero, also. I am honoured that I saw him play. As a kid in Burgh, I used to wait eagerly for the Saturday Football Telegraph to arrive to see how Town had got on. Ron's name leapt out of the reports as he scored so many goals.
We have lost Matt Tees and now Ron in the past few months. RIP both. Town legends and thank you for all the entertainment.
