RIP Ron .
Rest in peace Ron Lynch
Had a lot of beers with Thirsty at the Gasworks pub in the sixties along with a lot of old parra boys. He wasn't called thirsty for nothing. He'd be in my best Parra sides. Sad day.
One of my favourite players at Cumberland Oval . Thanks for the memories cemented me on Parra.
RIP old son.
absolute legend. remember watching him as a young fella one of my heros back in the day. true champion condolences to all
Started watching the Eels in 1968. Ron Lynch was one of my favourite players. Funny how such news hits a chord.
One if my first memories of Parra at Cumberland Oval is Thirsty making a break and just steamrolling the Penrith fullback. Couldn't be bothered to try running around him.
Vale Ron Lynch.
One of my all time favourite players.
Loved some of the stories when he was a garbo, he would down 12 schooners the night before, be on the garbo run from 4 in the morning and amazed everyone how he could do it. A great shame he was in the shadow of Johnny Raper or he would have played many more games for Australia.
Broke his leg in a trial game before the 63 UK Tour which he was a moral to be selected for. Possibly the greatest ever Kangaroo side.
