On the day when the passionate footballer would have been kicking off the new season. and just three days before the seventh anniversary of the 24-year-old's death at the former Chicago's nightclub in Stourbridge, hundreds of bikers travelled from The Widders Pub in Halesowen near the family home to Quatford in Shropshire, in what has become an annual 'Ride for Ryan, Ride for Justice' event.
They travelled around Stourbridge Ring Road on the way and made their way down the High Street to applause from shoppers before holding a minutes silence outside the building where the 'cheeky chappy' and Wolves fans was stabbed to death.
Before they left Halesowen, Jason Connon who was a footballing mentor of Ryan's and a family friend gave the Express and Star an update on the re-opened murder investigation into his death and said they were getting 'closer and closer to justice.'
