Bert Trautmann - R.I.P

[burning blue soul]

RIP FELLA, absolute legend of the game. he actually did a hell of a lot to bring two divided nations together again, in the eyes of the common man!

R.I.P Bert, Manchester and Germany's Finest.

Obviously far too young to have seen him play, but someone who you just know as a City fan, thanks in part to 'that' cup final.

2 outstanding memories - the tear in my Dad's eye when Bert ambled onto the pitch to receive a commemorative shirt (can't recall why, if someone does, please say!) a couple of years ago.

Also, seeing the joy on my Dad's face when FantasyIreland presented him with a pic he took of Bert & my Dad at the QPR game.

RIP.

R.I.P, Bert, a true legend and a gentleman. very sad

 

[acquiesce]

A stand just has to be named after him, doesn't it? It's just a pity he won't be around to see it. He deserved that.

RIP, true blue legend.
