Colin Bell RIP - Ian Cheeseman interview with Jon Bell (P142)

[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

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

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.

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
