RIP

COLIN THE KING

A Gentleman always

 

[Ban-jani]

This news hurts so sad for all of us who saw him play and idealised him as a teenager on the Kippax.
Rip to the king Colin Bell.

It’s made me emotional and I was born about 13/14 years after he retired.

 

[the plasterer]

RIP the king, devastating news

 

[bluetonium]

Just terrible news. Kind of met him once, well was in the same room, didn't realise who it was at first because he wasn't at all loud or brash or 'look at me' but for me he sums up in many ways what City is and should be. Humble, a gentleman, but always applied, and incredibly gifted.

Rightly called one of the greatest ever, not just because of what he did but how he did it and who he was.

Rest in peace, and thank you for everything. I can think of no better immediate tribute that our lads going out there tomorrow night and playing with joy in their hearts.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Too young to see him play but the tributes speak volumes.

 

[Banshee]

What awful news. Rest easy in Blue heaven King Colin

 

[Ban-jani]

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Without doubt the best player I had the priviledge to watch, A genius footballer & a true gentleman, R.I.P. King Colin.

 

[superwatsonwatson]

Really sad news. My boyhood hero throughout school. I'll spend the next few days thinking of some great memories.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

We'll sing, we'll sing to Colin the King.

 

[Dirty Harry]

I'm actually sat here completely numb, it's like a huge part of me has just gone hearing this.

 

[Maly]

RIP King Colin
I’m off to drink a drink a drink

 

[u2fme2]

One of the reasons as a young boy I became a city fan.
RIP blue

 

[ID70]

RIP the King, only player I had picture of on my wall as a kid and one of the main reasons I started to support City as the only Blue in my family

 

[mackenzie]

Absolutely devastated we named our son after him RIP King Colin

My brother (born 1971) is also named after him, and his middle name is Francis.

 

[There is a Light]

Wow, this is a tough read even for someone who didn’t see him play. Must be so sad for everyone who idolised him.

RIP.

 

[meeesh]

Devastated,,,,,just devastated

[Gorton_Tubster]

Wow thats sad... I had to dig through half a page of Utd/lfc headlines on Sky to get the news. Really sad, I hope the boys remembering him well tomorrow

 

[chesterbells]

Very sad news, to put it mildly.
RIP.
