Bert Trautmann - R.I.P

[stony]

A true gentleman and a genuine football legend. That word is bandied about far too much, but Bert deserves the accolade.

Condolences to his family. R.I.P Bert Trautmann OBE

Sad sad loss. RIP Bert

Trautmann is the sort of person the term 'Legend' should be reserved for. A true city great, will be missed by many, today is a sad day for the club and all of the 'city family' world wide. R.I.P Bert.

My Dad never tired of telling me about being at Bert´s cup final, used to fling himself around the front room settee demonstrating how good Bert was.
Amazing eventful life, always loved listening to him, always came across polite and with class. Never saw him play but absolutely gutted with news.
Thoughts are with his family at this time.

RIP Big Fella.

Ill be interested to see how his life is reported on over here in Germany. Nothing as yet.

As someone who can be described as 'new' to city in a quest to discover more about the clubs history I delved into reading more about the iconic past players to learn more about the club I was coming to love and it was Bert who stood out most to me. The man lead an incredible life, if I had to assign one person the moniker of 'Legend' I'd choose him.
