He later stood down as chairman in August 2008 but remained at the Memorial Stadium as a director.[LNB]Trollope told the club's official website: "Ron had been a massive part of our football club for many years and there are players and staff in our dressing room who were very close to him.[LNB]"Our thoughts were of him and with Ann and the news coming so close to the game made it difficult for everyone. It wasn't a great win but it was a win and we certainly dedicate it to Ron. He will be very sorely missed."[LNB][LNB]
