Interesting Facts:
Record Appearance Maker: Atkinson spent his entire professional playing career with Oxford United (initially Headington United), making a staggering 562 appearances between 1959 and 1971—a club record that still stands today.
Pioneering Captaincy: He holds the unique distinction of being the first-ever footballer to captain a club from the non-league Southern League all the way through Divisions Four, Three, and Two of the Football League during an incredible six-year meteoric rise.
The Tank: Earning his fierce nickname for his robust, no-nonsense style of play as a wing-half, he was the ultimate leader on the pitch during the club’s formative professional years.
Family Ties: He shared the pitch at Oxford with his younger brother, Graham Atkinson, who held the club’s goalscoring records for many years.
Giant Killing Roots: Long before knocking Manchester United out of the League Cup as a manager in 1983, Big Ron laid the bedrock for Oxford’s giant-killing reputation with his immense defensive resilience in the FA Cup.
