Ron Jacobs RIP
I remember walking to the bus stop after a Hanwell Town home game with Ron and this guy was on his bike on the pavement riding towards us and as he went past us Ron nearly took his head off with his walking stick and Ron also told him to fu*k off 
it came from no where from Ron and it still makes me laugh now lol I bet that guy never rode on the pavement again 
Ron even right up to near the end of his life would often turn up at random Hanwell Town away games and some were on very cold nights which he would have had to get a couple of forms of transport to get to the games which would have been difficult for Ron because of his walking problems so you couldn't help but admire him for that.
Ron was one of those characters that only comes along every now and then.
A top guy was Ron.

Knew him from the early 60s until the late 80s, and such a shame that he's missed seeing us in the last few years. such a change from the general fare that he was used to watching. he'd have been in his element now.

There wasn't much that would stop Ron getting to footy especially to watch Brentford. The last ever game he was at was Brentford v Oldham in late 2013 and he shouldn't of really gone to the game as a district nurse was coming to see him at home but i think we would all agree that the best medicine for Ron was watching his beloved Brentford play.

Such a shame that he did not manage a little longer, as he would have so enjoyed our current position, which in close on 60 years he never experienced. Such a difference from the times in the Division 4 days of the early 60’s, where we stood on the Braemar Road side. Used to meet up for the evening games at Hounslow Town, where drinks in the bar would soon turn into everybody’s hopes for the Bees. How things have changed, and so sad that the enthusiastic Ron just missed it.

He must of been very cold at games sometimes but he never ever said anything or ever moaned about being cold.
I wonder what his thoughts would have been about the Fury v Wilder II fight.

Such a shame he passed before our upward trend, culminating in the Premier league. He would have loved it, and just reward for his long-suffering loyalty!

Not too sure he would describe it as long suffering loyalty as he once told me he loves every minute of it.
You have to remember that we basically knew no different.
Great man was Ron.
