I thought Cheesy's tribute was very personal and sincere. Some nice anecdotes of just how humble and shy Colin was. Funny that the two greatest players to wear our shirt both have that in common.

Amazing and very touching that another team's forum speak so well of him. I think even in these lack of respect times and the cesspit that can be the internet few football fans could have disliked Colin Bell if he was playing today. So quiet and humble I don't remember one negative headline about him, he just played football to a very high level. I think the most daring thing he ever did was the Frosties adverts with Tony the Tiger. "They're greeeeeat!!!"

I've just read all those posts. Every one kind words. Friendly lot are Bristolians. I seem to recall a few of them joining here before a cup tie a few seasons back.
