I was at Derby for his debut and from then till now I've never seen a finer player or man pull on the blue shirt. Get well soon King Colin.

Who playing today is a lot like him? I seen a couple of YouTube videos before but they're a bad way to look at players, I've never seen him live obviously.There are many outstanding Princes that have graced our team, David Silva, Sergio, De Bruyne up there with the very best of em.. There is however and will only ever be one King. Colin Bell..

I’m not sure who exactly is like him today. I suppose Lampard was similar especially in terms of goals. Colin scored 1 in 3 over 500 games for City and England. If he was playing today with amount we play then he’d beneath 20 goals every season.....from midfield with no pens or fire kcks.Who playing today is a lot like him?

Good range of passing and good in the air. KDB driving forward with ball over 40 yards is similar.
But I always look back at the number of goals and think WOW

He was unique to be honest but I’d say a mixture of Lampard, Gerrard & De Bruyne. He was a box to box player who could tackle, score goals and pass sublimely. He was the fittest player I’ve ever seen and I’m including all modern day players ...!Who playing today is a lot like him?

He sounds like he was great. Was he underrated next to George best cos of the united hype?He was unique to be honest but I’d say a mixture of Lampard, Gerrard & De Bruyne.

He was the complete opposite of Best, he didn’t like any attention and still doesn’t to this day. The King did his talking on the pitch not in pubs or some birds knickers. Don’t think he was ever underrated, even away from Maine Road, he just wasn’t in the news and courting controversy like others did. There have been umpteen players including Best who could be described as flawed geniuses, Colin Bell was a genius without any flaws..He sounds like he was great. Was he underrated next to George best cos of the united hype?
If you are interested, go online and watch him
play, look at his stats, plenty of stuff out there mate ..
