ok. so we have seen many, many goals by Ronny from his Maccabi Haifa, Belgian teams, Liverpool and Totenham days (including his cup hat trick in extra time).
about his LFC days :
he talked about coming from Belgium to the greatest team in Europe on a loan in the last week of transfers.
He said that he decided that his time is short and he needed to make a quick impresion.
he played two reserves games, in one of them against ManU he scored two. Kenny Dalglish came to speak with him after the game ....
"I didn't understand a word .... somebody had to translate HIS English to an English I can understand ..."
Than he played against Southhampton as a sub "I think I played well".
Next game was a cup game with Charlton.
"an hour before the game Kenny tells me that I am playing instead of Birdsley". Ronny scored a hat trick in the 4-1 win.
"after the game in the bus Kenny called me. He gave me the phone in the bus, there where no cell phones than and a phone in a car was rare. Kenny told me I can call anyone I want .... I called all friends and family in Israeli. It must cost Liverpool a fortune
"
Asked who was the best player in LFC Ronny says :
"I think Barnes, Rush, Molby, Nickol and ray Houghton were the best"
"after we won the championship, Moran came into the dressing room, put the medales on a table and said - practice starts July 5th. there where no celebrations ... nobody thought it will be the last championship for the club".
Today Ronny lives in London. His 6 year old son is playing for Totenham, and he is an agent (he brought silva to arsenal)
about the Aston Villa miss : "I was alone and the defender was behind me, so I kicked a low ball. Dont know what happend (smiles) ...
well, I think thats it ...
it was very nice to see some of his great goals - some of them I seen for the first time.
Hope all of you have good memories from Rocket Ronny ...
