Bert Trautmann - R.I.P

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Just watching BBC 6 o'clock news - not a muff about Bert Trautmann in the headlines nor on the shite that comes MANUre's media arm, MediaSalfordCity. Bloody disgraceful!

He was on the sports section of the 5Live news at 3, 4 & 5pm if that stops you from being upset.

Even Talkshite mention it on the main news. Like I said earlier his story transcends football.

It certainly does transcend Manchester City and football. Wasn't there talk of a film at one point? A stand named is a must.

R.I.P Bert.

There was a lighter side to Bert as well, he was very suave and had an eye for the women and women had an eye for him, one of the first football sex symbols was old Bert
