Ron Reynolds

Ronald Sidney Maurice Reynolds (2 June 1928 – 2 June 1999) was a goalkeeper whose career spanned nearly 20 years; he played 290 League games for three professional clubs, and for most of the 1950s played for Tottenham Hotspur, alongside his friend and tactical confidant, Danny Blanchflower.

Playing career

Aldershot

Reynolds was born in Haslemere and started his career at Aldershot as a 17–year old in 1945.

While a 22-year-old goalkeeper with Aldershot, Reynolds wrote to Southampton asking for a trial but unfortunately Saints declined this offer and he instead went to White Hart Lane iniially as the understudy to Ted Ditchburn.

Tottenham Hotspur

During his spell at Tottenham, Portsmouth had tried to sign him, but Reynolds was considered too valuable to be released and it wasn't until ten years after he had first contacted Southampton that Ted Bates, beating the transfer deadline by 24 hours, bought him from Spurs for £10,000.

Southampton

Reynolds’ composure and experience became a vital ingredient as Southampton went on to lift the Division 3 championship at the end of the 1959–1960 season.
