Good keeper and a quiet player on the field; no fuss.
RIP.

Back in the day I remember him and Hodgy vying for England's goalkeepers Jersey, and so many great Derby days!

No - Nigel Worthington definitely has more.

I remember it was the habit of the Unclean to shower him with oranges when he came out of the tunnel and ran towards the Hillsborough kop, he would collect them and pile them into a corner of the net. Not sure what that was about.

RIP Ron Springett

Whist offering my condolences to his family, surely this should be in a different section of this forum about 'blades related' issues.
