PLANS for a ceremony to honour former Darlington Football Club player Ron Greener were continuing yesterday.
The Quakers are preparing for the event to rename the Neasham Road stadium's Presidential Lounge the Ron Greener Suite.
The ceremony, on Tuesday, will recognise the achievements of the man who spent 13 years at the club and made 492 appearances.
Easington-born Mr Greener, 70, joined Darlington in 1955 and stayed with the club until 1968.
The suite is the largest of the stadium's conferencing facilities, holding 170 people, and the ceremony will take place ahead of the club's biggest pre-season friendly, against Leeds United.
Chief executive Andy Battison said: "More than 120 years of history have gone into building the club we have today, and players like Ron Greener have played a key role in creating the identity of the club as it is now."
