FameRank: 6

"Ronald Frederick "Ron" Atkinson" commonly known as ""Big Ron"" and (earlier in his managerial career) ""Mr Bojangles"" is an English former Association football/football player and Manager (association football)/manager. During the 1990s and early 2000s he was one of Britain's best-known football summariser/pundits. His idiosyncratic turn of phrase has led to his utterances becoming known as "Big-Ronisms" or "Ronglish".

He spent his entire playing career at Oxford United F.C./Oxford United, where he still holds the List of Oxford United F.C. records and statistics/record as the club's highest appearance maker. As a manager he won the FA Cup with Manchester United F.C./Manchester United in 1982–83 FA Cup/1983 and 1984–85 FA Cup/1985 and the Football League Cup with Sheffield Wednesday F.C./Sheffield Wednesday in 1990–91 Football League Cup/1991 and Aston Villa F.C./Aston Villa in 1993–94 Football League Cup/1994.
