Cheers man, as I say i looked at YouTube videos but they can be a bit misleading. If I can find a full game of his I may well watch it some time.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..
If you are interested, go online and watch him
play, look at his stats, plenty of stuff out there mate ..
I agree mate, David Silva is the best player to set foot on a premier league pitch bar none... Another magic, City geniusCheers man, as I say i looked at YouTube videos but they can be a bit misleading. If I can find a full game of his I may well watch it some time.
I dont like modern players like pogba, Beckham and ronaldo who are media whores off the pitch so I think id really have liked Colin Bell. Its the same as David silva is a genius but rarely in the media so I like him more, iniesta too.
Very different type of player to Best. I don't think he was that under-rated at the time, he was a regular in England squads but perhaps didn't win as many caps as he might in his early days because England seemed to use him in a similar attacking midfield role to Bobby Charlton. Once Charlton retired from internationals Bell became a regular starter and had become a key player in the England team when he was seriously injured.He sounds like he was great. Was he underrated next to George best cos of the united hype?
