Bert Trautmann - R.I.P

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Remember always spotting him at Eastlands in exec boxes behind the South Stand and was there when we won title last year. He always had time for fans.

RIP Bert a true legend.

A humble and brave man... truly a sad day... But Bert will still deservedly be talked about in a hundred years.
R.I.P. Bert...

Sad news of the loss of a genuine City legend. Great player and by all accounts a great man too. R.I.P. Bert.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

A sad, sad day. I couldn't have had anyone better to look up to growing up in the fifties. Farewell, Bert, you were magnificent.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Rest in peace Bert and thanks for being our legend. :(

 

[The perfect fumble]

Very sad news, a truly great man.
