Last Saturday was another landmark night in the glorious and multi-faceted career of Ron, as the big man continued to plunder for himself a handsome niche in the business of show. ITV's much-more-watchable-without-Kelly Karaoke contest Stars In Their Eyes was the stage, and Ron certainly dug in to provide a more than passable impression of a big orange Frank Sinatra.

Here we present some of the evening's highlights:

First up, it was nice to see that Davina had done her homework on the big man and seemed to be well aware that some audience members may not have been entirely prepared for Ron's distinctive colouring: 

"Put on your sunglasses and prepare to be dazzled."

Then we enjoyed some entertaining footage of Ron at play, as the big goldhorse went round a golf course to the sound of the trumpets. Mind you, it wasn't entirely clear whether Ron just liked playing golf or whether his hobby was arranging betting scams:

"If we've got the time, we're always trying to fix a game of golf."

We're not sure, however, if Forest fans, for one, will be too impressed to learn that presenting the Premiership once a week represents an increase in workload from Ron's management days:

"Now, though I'm supposed to be retired, I'm busier than ever."

With the preliminaries out of the way, it was time for Ron to make a nice little arrive on stage. Exchanges with Davina began brightly:

"You were called the best TV pundit ever."

No sign of disagreement from Ron. 

However, things then took an unexpected turn, with Davina electing to go firmly down the Ron as guff-merchant road.

"But there's also a case for... the best TV pundit to occasionally make the odd mistake.  Is that true?

Ron looked suspicious but resisted the temptation to stick in a reducer:

"I think there's every chance of that. You're always liable to say something and then think afterwards 'Oh, what have I said'."

Then, lo and behold, Davina stuck in another change ball and started plugging DangerHere. Sadly, we couldn't help but get the impression Ron may have endured one too many mentions of Ronglish.

Davina: "Do you know there's a website...?"

Ron: "Yeah, I believe so, yeah. And there's a lot of quotes attributed to me and I don't remember saying hardly any of them, to be fair, but there you go."

Davina: "They've coined a phrase. They've called it Ronglish."

Ron: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Davina: "That's brilliant isn't it?"

Ron: "Yeah."

Still, having gone distinctly easy oasy, Ron brightened up when Davina gave him the chance to tell his favourite Dwight Yorke story. As Ron tells it, he took the Villa lads out to a "nice Italian restaurant" a couple of nights before a big cup-tie with Liverpool. For some reason, "the telly was there." Of course, "to help the lads relax" Ron installed a Karaoke machine. Sure enough the big man was keen to show off and got up to belt out New York New York. Of course, upon spotting Yorkie in the crowd scene, quick as you like-Ron cleverly amended his vocals to "It's up to you, Dwight Yorke, Dwight Yorke." Lo and behold, Ron's version became a Holte End favourite, an achievement of which he is rightly proud.

So there you are, Ron proceeded to belt out a passable version of "That's Life".
