A wing half with some talent who joined Leeds at 18 and played
occasionally through the early 1950s. After serving his time doing
National Service, he moved on to York and Bradford. On retirement
from the professional game, he continued his involvement with
football - managing several sides in North Yorkshire and scouting
out talent for Barnsley. He died in 2001 in Leeds; his funeral was
attended by John Charles and several other players from his Leeds
days.
Thanks to Christie Mollatt for the photo.
Christie Mollatt says: My Great Uncle Ron........I only had the
pleasure of meeting this man a few times as the family lived a
distance away in Mansfield a few miles away from uncle Ron's birth
place. He seemed a very proud man who loved playing and coaching
football. The family were very sad to hear of uncle Ron's passing
on and our greatest condolences go out to Darren, Ron's son.
Stuart Mollatt says: There are several more pictures of Ron
Mollatt in his scrap book but i don't know what's happened to that,
there are also pictures and articles of other :eeds players from
this period in it as my uncle Ron kept a detailed and interesting
log book of everything that concerned him to do with football. He
was a straight forward down to earth man who didnt much care for
unprofessional people. He was a very traditional man who dearly
loved Leeds United. I only met him on two occasions but these
things were very clear to me. Hope that's some information you
didn't already know. Also if Darren does take a look at this web
site could you Email me please thank you.
Karen Wright (Mollatt) says: well what can i say that hasen`t
already been said, a great tribute to the family
Michael Mollatt says: Hello ! My name is Michael Mollatt and I

father came to Norway workin' on the very first railroad.
