This Saturday though there will be a deserved and totally appropriate silence for former City player Ronnie Bird. A footballer being honoured by his club. The exact reasons why silences should be saved for those who deserve them.
Ronnie does, a servant of the club on the field and up until a month or two ago a servant off the field. Ill health forced him to give up his hospitality and commentating duties.

I met Ronnie on many occasions at the club and he was an infectious character, never lost for words and never in a position where he would not stop to talk to you.
A favourite with all that met him Ronnie will have a silence in his honour before the game v Wigan. RIP Ronnie.
