Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whanau a Ron Greenwood i te 15 Lennox Street, Worsthorne, tata ki Burnley, Lancashire, engari i neke ki Ranana i te 1931 i te wa o te Pakaru. I whakaakona ia i te Wembley County Grammar School e noho ana inaianei ki te Alperton Community School i Middlesex, ka wehe atu ia i te 14 o ona tau ki te mahi hei kaituhi tohu tohu. I mahi ia ki tētahi wae irirangi pūkoro o RAF i te tuatahi i Īrana ki te Raki, ā, i muri mai i
France i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao.
