     Home | Football Player | Ron Atkinson



Ronald Franklin "Ron" Atkinson, (born 18 March 1939) commonly known as "Big Ron" and (earlier in his managerial career) "Bojangles" is an English former football player and manager. In recent years he has become one of Britain's best-known football pundits. He is perhaps most famous for his idiosyncratic turn of phrase: his utterances have become known as "Big-Ronisms" or "Ronglish" - although in recent times, he has also attracted controversy over a racist comment broadcast on a TV sports show when he believed he was off the air.
