Really sad to hear that "Noddy" Saunders has gone. Named him as my Pompey favourite on the mini-bus home from Wembely 2008.

He was my Boyhood Hero. Who can forget the headed goal against the Scum in the 2-0 win, where he seemed to climb so high that he headed down over Reynolds out stretched fingers. My other absorbing memory of him was when I was waiting to get my haircut in the Drayton Barbers. Ron came in not to get his haircut but to buy his packet of three for the weekend.

RIP Ron and condolences to his family
