RIP to the greatest midfield player in a City shirt, I started watching City in 67 so no need to explain.....I'm devastated
KIng of the Kippax forever

Wish I could have seen this legend play for us. RIP the king.

65 years old and i'm shedding a tear, my favourite ever player, a true legend, I named my son after him, only one letter different in our surnames. RIP King Colin, i'll certainly drink a drink to you tonight :-(

I turned 78 in Nov , to quote Sunshine on Leith " MY HEART IS BROKEN".

 

[Rascal]

For those who never saw him play, he was KdB on steroids, his passing was sublime,he was supremely skilled, he was brilliant in the air, he could tackle, he could finish, he could run all day and he was a humble man, who loved our club.

In our pantheon of greats some may come close, but none will ever surpass the King of the Kippax.

His comeback game still sends shivers down my spine, i have never heard a ground as loud in my life as the Kippax was that day.

RIP The King, you were my hero, I loved you more than any City player i have ever seen or likely to see, he was everything I wanted to be as a kid, i even worse my shirt like him, insisted i had the 8 shirt at school.

I am heartbroken, your hero's are not meant to die.

 

[Postman Pep]

RIP Colin. Such a private and shy man. Was privileged to have lunch with him on a couple of occasions in Roy's social club, back in the day.
Won't see your like again. KDB, The closest for me.

 

[John John]
