Ron is a difficult man to like

Overall an interesting read, sadly not as much about Wednesday as I’d have liked. It confirmed what I’ve long thought, Ron is an unpleasant chap despite his achievements in the game, and the success at Sheffield Wednesday. Why wasn’t the book given to an editor? Far too many typos

Really fascinating and enlightening biopic of Big Ron and his stints at various clubs. Amusing stories throughout. However it is sloppy in parts in terms of grammar and spelling which diminishes the overall quality.
