I would love to have a drink with you there one day to toast the great man.

You're more than welcome, but it's in Southern Spain ! :-)

RIP absolute legend. Totally heartbroken for his family and the City family for this loss.

@twosips just seen your tribute to Colin on YT. Couldn't have said it better mate. Thank you

Thank you mate. I just wish I could have watched him play!

He even had the best haircut band he didn't know it.

OMG That comeback game has lived with me forever !

I remember Helen ringing her bell for all she was worth. "Come on ding!", she shouted, "Come on ding!"

He was my hero as child and one of the reasons I became a City fan in 1966. Met him once at a corporate and was too overawed to get any sensible words out. Colin was a true legend and an icon and a truly magnificent player. I was privileged to watch most of his matches for us. RIP the King

Had it and it was on loop, i wanted to know everything about them as a young lad and this was my window into how it felt to watch greatness.... if we’re all honest, until sheikh Mansour I don’t think any of us felt a realistic chance of seeing this again, that’s why we have to love every minute of it as we never know when it’s gone again...

Bloody great video that.
Think you can still see it.on YouTube.

I recall waiting at the car park at Maine road circa 1968 for autographs, I can still see Colins Jaguar ref number KEN 110 G.

Very sad - Childhood hero - lucky enough to meet him many years ago at my Company’s Box (people I work for not mine !!!) which itself was a strange day as I had my own season ticket.Came in with Peter Barns (another great) and chatted over lunch. Had a great discussion with him and Peter about their playing days. City legend and one of the best to wear the shirt!

Just heard the sad news. RIP Colin the King. My hero in the late 60s/early 70s and an all-time City great.

Absolutely mate. Just got shivers down the spine reading that. Definitely one of the best atmospheres I ever witnessed. Fair play to the Geordies too.

Honestly never seen so many grown men in tears
