Ronnie Mauge

Ronald 'Ronnie' Mauge (born in Islington, London March 10 1969) is a retired Trinidad and Tobago footballer,

He started his career as a trainee at Charlton Athletic before moving on to Fulham as a free transfer. Fifty seven appearances earned him a transfer to Bury in 1990 for 40,000 pounds. During this time he went on loan to Manchester City but only made one appearance as a substitute.

An appearance against Huddersfield Town made a good impression on the soon to be Plymouth Argyle manager Neil Warnock leading to a 40,000 pounds transfer to Plymouth in 1995.

During his time at Plymouth he was to make history as the only ever Plymouth player to score a goal at Wembley as Plymouth defeated Darlington one nil in a Third Division playoff final match to achieve promotion in 1996. During this time he attained perhaps a unique chant of "Ronnie's got a gun, he's got a gun, he's got a ..." due to his off field life that ended up in several court appearances.

In 1999, Ian Holloway signed Mauge for Bristol Rovers on a free transfer and after a great start to the season, his form resulted in a call up to Trinidad and Tobago's squad in 2000 in preparation for the Gold Cup. Mauge qualified through parentage and although the "Soca Warriors" went on to reach the semi-finals he broke his leg in a first round match against Mexico . After failing to rediscover his form before his horrific injury, Mauge retired in 2002.
