Ronald 'Ron' Yeats (born 15 November 1937 in Aberdeen, Scotland) is a Scottish former footballer. He was the captain of the first great Liverpool team of the 1960s.
Yeats was an Under 15 Schoolboy international who played for Aberdeen Junior side, Aberdeen Lads Club FC, from where he was signed by Dundee United a then Scottish Second Division club. Previous to signing for Dundee United, and on his return from a broken leg, Yeats had a trial with Elgin City FC, then a Scottish Highland Football League club. He worked in a slaughter house in his home town of Aberdeen prior to becoming a professional footballer.
Yeats, a stockily-built 6 ft 2 in central defender, was bought by manager Bill Shankly in 1961 from United for a fee of around £20'000 and was immediately installed as captain as Liverpool gained promotion from the Second Division after eight seasons away from English football's top flight. He made his debut in a 2–0 league victory over Bristol Rovers at Eastville on 19 August 1961, his first goal came 2 years later in the 75th minute of the 1–0 First Division victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on 23 November 1963.
Ronald Henry "Ron" Lee (born November 2, 1952) was an All-American basketball player for the University of Oregon, and epitomized the "Kamikaze Kids" under coach Dick Harter with his all-out, fearless hustle and relentless desire to win. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Lee played four seasons for the Ducks between 1972 and 1976. The Phoenix Suns made him the tenth selection in the NBA draft in 1976. Despite not playing football in high school and college, the NFL's San Diego Chargers also made him a 12th round selection in the 1976 NFL draft. In the NBA, Lee was named to the 1977 NBA All-Rookie Team and led the NBA in steals the following season. Overall, Lee had a solid, but not spectacular career as a reserve, and became a fan favorite because of his effort on the court.
Ron Lee is still the all-time leading scorer for the University of Oregon with 2,085 points in his four seasons of play. He ranks second in career assists with 572, first in field goals (838), and fifth in free throws made (409). He was first-team All-Pac-8 in all four seasons with the Ducks, and made numerous All-American lists during his final three seasons. Lee was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.

César Bandin Ron, poeta argentino contemporáneo (1948) residente en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, lee el poema "Tus ojos que antaño nunca se cansaron de los míos...", de William Butler Yeats (Irlanda, 1865-1939)
These empty days are filling me with pain
After I left it seems my life is only rain
My heart is longing to the better times
When everything was still so fine
I wonder why it happens so fast
You give your heart away knowing it might not last
I'm still here waiting for the rain to fall
And to see you once again
4000 Rainy Nights
4000 Nights I'd be with you
4000 Rainy Nights with you
I keep your memory in my heart
You give me hope when everything is so dark
That thing nobody can take away
Forever in me
