Sad, sad news. My Dad who saw Bert play, said he was the best goalkeeper that he's ever seen, City or otherwise. RIP Bert.

Time to do what should have been done a while ago and name a stand after him.

R.I.P a true Blue legend.

RIP
Bert a true gentleman you will be sadly missed
From a era when you played for the shirt and not the money
Had the great honour of briefly chatting to him a Maine rd and
Made me feel like the most important person he had chatted to
No doubt he wouldn't remember me,but that very brief chat I will
Remember and cherish for the rest of my life
Bye Bert

A City legend. RIP Bert.

Sad news,my grandad said he was the best goalie he ever saw and unusually for my grandad he couldn't fault him.
His life story,even without the broken neck in the cup final is fascinating and I'm sure the club will do the right thing by a true legend of our club.
R.I.P. Bert.
