I hope the club has a joint tribute to Colin bell on David Silva’s return game

RIP king Colin. Long will you be remembered. Thoughts are with all your family and close ones and we'll all drink a drink

Hit me harder than I imagined it would this, pretty gutted tbh. Even my rag mates have paid respect to him. A class player, in a class side, in a day when the game was full of ploughed field pitches, and leg-breaking cloggers (hang your head in shame, Buchan...) A footballing great, whose name will live on at the club, and with the supporters, for a very long time. We'll drink a drink a drink tonight. RIP King Colin.

I don't think I have ever sat and followed a thread page by page before, I don't want to miss any tributes, looking through watery eyes drinking a drink...

 

[Barcon]

I turned the laptop off around page 18 as I refused to accept the rumours. Mum just sent me a text.
Speachless.

 

[Cityfan]

The first truly great player I had the privilege of watching in blue.
RIP King Colin.
You'll always live in the hearts of all who saw you play.

Really gutted, a class act on and off the field. Let's hope the team can put in a performance tomorrow for the King. RIP Colin.

My boyhood hero
Rest in peace
The King

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Heart broken, simply the best I've ever seen in a sky blue shirt.
WE'LL DRINK A DRINK A DRINK
TO COLIN THE KING, THE KING THE KING

The number 8 shirt should now be retired at City in memory of the King

Lucky I got one for my 65th birthday 5years ago.
70 years old and I'm crying like a baby. My all-time hero is no more.
RIP THE KING

 

[blue oli]

Simply a legend, will never be forgotten.


I was lucky enough to see him play, to meet him and to be a friend of the family.

The king

The only photo on my desk at work is me with Colin Bell ... sad loss

 

[BringBackSwales]

The number 8 shirt should now be retired at City in memory of the King

I don’t think a modest legend like Colin would want that.

 

[Bobby Heaton Moor]

My grandfather always wore seeing King Colin live as a badge of honour. It was a privilege and memory he took to his grave and I hope wherever Colin is now, he has some sort of idea how many lives he's touched. RIP King, gone but never forgotten.

 

[airfrance7]

The king is dead. Long live the king.

 

[Nellies left peg]

My first kit as a 7 year old in 1968 was a sky blue shirt with a number 8 on the back. RIP true legend and hero

 

[Lavinda Past]

A very sad day....

I don't feel like talking / typing. Suffice to say, I'll be off here for a few days.

RIP Colin
