Only scored 6 times during his time with us but was a hugely popular player with us.I used to have a tee-shirt with the imfamous slogan "I've seen Ronnie Moore score" but alas it went duster heaven years ago.
But how many of us still going can actually say where and when he scored.The only time I can remember actually witnessing this feat was away to Shewsbury when he got one with John Buccanan in a 2-1 win.(I think:hehe:)
He was a great player :thumbup:Quote:

I must have. Never missed a home game in that era.
I was about to say the same but I can’t remember seeing him score.Quote:

He had a tough job at City.Quote:

I remember one but not the game!. Decent finish from the edge of the pen area.
I think he scored in a 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea and may have scored in a 2-1 win at Sunderland. ?
I was at Shrewsbury for that 2-1 win mentioned earlier :thumbup:
That is my memories of Ronnie:wales:Quote:

We were really shite then!
Without him Gary Stevens wouldn't have scored the goals he did.Quote:

I used to sit in the Grandstand with my Dad when Ronnie Moore played for us, and I can always remember a guy behind us who used to laugh at Ronnie Moore as he was so hapless, whereas most of us were desperate for him to score.Quote:

It was quite a surprise in the relative calm of the Grandstand, but the bloke deserved it really.
I wouldn't say that I was scarred or anything but this was over 40 years ago...... :shrug:
Gray matter is a bit worn, but I am sure he scored a goal at home, where he beat about 3 men and planted a beautiful shot in the Canton end net.
Might be wrong, but for some reason it is there at the back of the brain (yes I have got one :hehe:, in before):hehe:
It doesn’t matter if it happened or not; hold onto that image.Quote:

I can remember him scoring against Brighton when they were on their way to promotion (we won 3-1).
The goal for which I most remember him was a looping header at the Grange End over Dai Davies I think it was to clinch a 1-0 win over Wrexham and he put us 1-0 up in that game with Chelsea mentioned earlier which we ended up losing 2-1. Also, he scored at Shrewsbury as mentioned above and in that great 2-1 win at Sunderland which stopped them going up.
Can't remember where his other goal was scored though, I'm going to have to look it up.
Edit, it was the game before we won at Sunderland - a 2-1 home win over Luton.
I loved his work rate, but the bloke chased shadows.
The supply was shit though.
Jeez,apart from the shewsbury goal I have no memory of the others.:cry:Quote:

Didn't we get Nigel 'Super Ted' Vaughn and Karl Elsey in return?
