Colin Bell RIP - Ian Cheeseman interview with Jon Bell (P142)

[BillCarlisle]

A bloke my age shouldn't have tears in my eyes at the passing of a man whom I never met, but I have. Absolutely shattering news. The greatest player I've ever seen wear the sky blue shirt.

RIP Colin the King. You'll live on in our hearts forever.

Incredibly sad. The King was old school as even with all his talent and success he was modest and self-effacing.

Certainly did. Always very dignified.

 

[TauntonBlue]

He was one of the three that changed my life and made me become a blue as a small boy. I feel a bit like that small boy at the moment. RIP legend.

Me too. So sad

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Stunned.
Thank you, Colin.
You illuminated my youth.
You seemed like a god to me, as I watched you stride around the pitch.
Thank you.

Fuck me 2021 is imitating 2020 - far too young to have seen the king play but met him at a supporters club do one evening.

Absolute gentleman - will be sorely missed.............

 

[red 2 hats]

He's the greatest inside forward that the world has ever seen.
RIP Colin the King
Gonna raise a large glass in your honour, my first ever hero

 

[lancs blue]

RIP The King. Thanks for many great memories.

RIP King Colin, Lucky enough to start attending matches in 67-68, condolences to his family

 

[Newman Noggs]

Sick to the heart. A hero of my youth, a reminder of those happy days when all the world was young.

His Doctor son Jon Bell treated my sister's friend when he was diagnosed with cancer, unfortunately he passed from the disease but he couldn't praise Jon more. Apparently a great guy, chip off the old block reading the comments from people who had met The King.
