Reg Ryan ‘The Schemer”  Part Three  ( Part One  -  Part Two  - Part Three )  By Gavan Bergin On November 18th 1952, Reg Ryan was playing for Ireland against France at Dalymount Park in Dublin when the crash barriers at each end of the ground broke and the crowd spilled onto the pitch, causing the match to be halted by the referee. It was a scene of mayhem, with the loudspeaker booming out threats to abandon the game, while ambulance men carried away people who had fainted in the crush.

Reg Ryan ‘The Schemer”  Part Three  ( Part One - Part Two )  By Gavan Bergin Reg Ryan stayed with West Bromwich Albion for ten years.

In 1955/56 he played 46 league games and captained Derby to the runners-up spot in the Third Division . The following season he scored 12 goals in 45 games for Derby, who won the Third Division.

In '57/'58, Reg was top scorer for Derby, with 14 goals in 41 games, and he led his players brilliantly in their successful battle against relegation.  That was his last good work for Derby. He left soon afterwards. His three great seasons became part of club folklore and in...
