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

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Shocking, awful sad news. RIP Colin

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Devastated. Colin Bell, always our King. So very sad. Love and confidences to his family and friends.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

A very sad day. I’m too young to remember him but he was my grandad’s hero. My grandad is no longer with us but knowing how sad he would be has left me a bit choked.

RIP

 

[Rammy Blue]

RIP King Colin.

Devastated.

 

[Edward Deadwood]

Just about to take down my Christmas tree this eve. Seems poignant after hearing the sad news that such a bright light has gone out.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Amazing how much his successor, David Silva, had such a similar modest personality. It’s that personality that always feels ‘Manchester City’ to me.

I met the King twice. Once when I was a kid and I waited outside training to get his autograph on a penant I had of him. Second time I met him was in the Co Op in Halebarnes and said sorry to intrude Colin but you are the King and the best player I have ever seen playing for City; he looked suitably embarrassed to have been complimented. An absolute gentleman, and a footballing God, never mind King. So sad to hear this

 

[City Raider]

Ah man. My hero. Let everyone up there know, The King has arrived.

First City player I identified with as a child, a life long hero and always will be. May he always remain in the best memories of Blue's worldwide.

It's so awful to read this. Colin was a champion of this club and a champion of our city. His son became a cancer specialist and everyone to a man says just how humble and kind Colin was. Soo in the the Pearly Gates best XI. Goodbye King Col.

Rest in peace Colin, a true Gent who loved this Club with all his heart.
