Out of all the stewards he was the calmest,most approachable, and most of all diplomatic.If ever there was a problem you just looked out for Rav.
R.I.P. you will be greatly missed Rav. :bluebird:

He was an absolute legend that will be sadly missed. Back in the day on the ninan park terraces we called him Ravanelli and was adored by the fans!! The amount of times he saved my ass and stopped me getting arrested or banned over the years is ridiculous.... he always gave me a second chance, whether I was smuggling beer into the ground or drunk and disorderly and making sure I got home safe from Wembley, he always had our backs and looked out for us xx

Genuinely sad to here this :(

This bloke should have hated me really, but he never did. We used to be an absolute nuisance to him in the 90's and he would just look at you and smile, the man must have had the patience of a saint.

'I seen Ravanelli on the tele, when he scores he shows his belly, hey Ravanelli

For me, this man is a Cardiff City legend.
