I bet he's been up early this morning with the biggest smile on his face ever.
Well done JR SOD and ROK Can't wait for the news today.

Who thinks JR deserves in the very least a squad number? The number should be the year he joined the club? Since number 1 is already taken...

He has one already! 28 I believe was 'retired' after he turned out for us.

It's about time he was recognised formally by the club and the town, I know it's difficult to name stands after him because of the sponsorship but how about a campaign to change the name of the road to the Keepmoat to John Ryan Way, a fitting tribute to the great man.

Maybe we could have a statue of him like Leeds have of Billy Bremner.

We looked into a statue of King Alick outside the KMS, and it would have cost upwards of £50k.  Far too expensive.
