Wow, 145 goals in 263 appearances for Town.

No wonder my Dad used to go on about him!

RIP.

Way before my time but still read a lot about him on here and other places decades after he was playing for Town. Hopefully his relatives can take some comfort in the knowledge he’a fondly remembered here. RIP.

RIP Ron










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

A sad day indeed. My boyhood hero gone.
I used to watch him practice his heading using a football suspended on a string
behind the Osmond stand. The greatest header of a football I have ever seen!
RIP Ron "Chips" Rafferty .A true Town Legend.
