The number 8 shirt should now be retired at City in memory of the King

RIP to a true legend. Thoughts go out to his family and Blues everywhere who will be feeling this loss I'm sure.

RIP Colin the King, the reason I'm a blue. Thank you

Colin brought tears to the eyes of every blue of a certain age when he made pre-match appearances after retirement. He just had that effect on us. We're all heartbroken at this awful news. RIP Colin, the King in life, now a football god for eternity. Thank you for everything Colin.

Breaks my heart that due to covid he won't get the funeral he deserves, we need do something when restrictions are lifted.

RIP The King.

I wasn't even in my teens when he made his comeback v Newcastle on Boxing Day but my abiding memory of Maine Road games around that time was the noise from the Kippax when he came on that day. Legend.

I was in the North stand, rumours flew about that he was coming on and the anticipation was amazing, then he appeared and the place erupted, The Geordies didn't stand a chance after that !

Long Live the King. x

I’ve filled up twice now for Colin.
His forlorn attempt to return at that match and now.

RIP Mr Bell. Prayers for your family and friends.
