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

[ScottSinclair]

Im so happy he got his name on a stand for us while he was still alive.

All though from what I've read and heard of him, he probably thought it was a bit too much. A humble genius, and an absolute gent

Rip the King

Very sad news, gutted - the word legend is used too often nowadays and he was more than that to CITY. I met him a few times, remember a trip to superstore to get his book signed, ducked out of work, ran out of petrol on way, free wheeled into CITY car park, ditched the car and ran to get in the queue.....treasure that signed book. I also had a photo of him at hospitality at CITY - had my newborn son with me for his very first game, told Colin my son had been baptised a few weeks ago in church but now meeting him The King, watching CITY he was being "properly" baptised! A quiet, almost shy man with time for anyone - but what a player he was. RIP Colin Bell.

RiP Colin


We'llllllllĺll
drink a drink, a drink
To Colin the King, the King, the King,
For he's the leader of Man City.
He's the greatest,
inside forward,
that the world has ever seen...

Was brought up hearing stories about the quality that was Colin Bell from my mum and her brothers. Felt so bad ringing to tell her the sad news this evening. Sleep well a true blue legend

There should be a Bell, Lee and Summerbee statue on the CB stand side and a Silva, Aguero and Kompany statue on the east side.

Lucky I got one for my 65th birthday 5years ago.
70 years old and I'm crying like a baby. My all-time hero is no more.
RIP THE KING

He signed my eldest shirt 15 years ago and is framed in my office

priceless
