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

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

R.I.P King Colin,you will never be forgotten you will always be the king,I will drink to you tonight God bless Legend.

Wasn't just a great footballer, having met him a couple of times, he was a wonderful man too, very sad news.

 

[rons got the blues]

I'm genuinely saddened by the news, was definitely my all time favourite player,saw his first game at Maine Rd. after they'd bought him from Bury.One of the greatest players to have graced the game,even met him once when he had the restaurant with Colin Waldron in Whitefield,an absolutely wonderful and genuine human being.
RIP Colin

 

[Palerider]

Condolences of course to his family who have lost much more than a footballer. In truth though to many of us he was simply the best footballer who ever breathed or ever will breathe. He was worshipped. In 1968 we were neck and neck with United for the title and we went to Old Trafford for a crucial night game. No live TV then and I was only a nipper. The next day headline was 'For whom the Bell tolls'. A rather apt title for today as well sadly. I will never forget you Colin, thanks so much for being part of my life.

PS We did win the match and went on to win the League in our traditional dramatic fashion.

He’s the greatest inside forward that the world has ever seen

Sad News, will have possibly seen him play at Maine Road but was too young to remember .

I heard a couple of different versions of the above song?

“Greatest Centre Forward that...”
“Greatest Aceist Forward that...”
?
RIP Colin The KING.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Never saw him play but my dad raved about him, RIP blue.

 

[Eccles Blue]

RIP Colin Bell. The King, the legend. I also was lucky enough to see him play and remember being in awe of his skills.
Condolences to his family and friends. In tears here. Please can this horrible time be over soon.

Well played Colin. You had a life we could only dream of, and you were an ultimate gent to go with it.

As sad as today is, celebrate his life.

I hope we beat the rags tomorrow and are able to sing Colin the king at Wembley in April.

Well said Pal !

I saw his home debut, little did I know then the effect he would have on my life...

Any way for a Mod or web guru to do something with the banner for Bluemoon?

Maybe go to black, or add a black ribbon?

I think Colin would want it to be Sky Blue mate
