The volley was at Stamford bridge, to be fair it does have a look of Wembley...
.one of my favourite City goals I was 10 at the time and idolised King Colin

Apologies chaps......didn't look that closely was more taken with the ghosting in behind the defender and the finish.
It would have only taken a little bit more of an angle to make it as difficult as Marco's goal, but then the quality of the strike I thought made it as good...
...also doubted it was Stamford Bridge as I always seemed to recall whenever I saw games there that there was always a little blue motability car behind the goal!
It did really used to be a dump, but then so many grounds were. I recall standing on the terrace there with all the corrugated iron and barbed wire around the floodlight pylons
 
One of my brothers was named after him.

You can judge a person by the footprints they leave behind.

Colin Bell left footprints beyond the football pitch, he touched the lives of so many people he never even met.

The fact he did so, there can be no greater testament, he was a great man, first and foremost.

Life isn't measured by the medals or money by your bedside, he went out a class act.

No fuss, fighting right to the end.

RIP, Colin The King.
 
Just my opinion & i know hindsight is a great thing but i'm convinced he'd have made a full recovery from his injury if he'd received the correct treatment for it,even then they must have known how serious it was yet they took a massive risk & rushed him back....he played about 4 months later.....it would be like VVD being in the Dippers team at weekend....

Agreed, more consistent and greater work rate and that is not knocking KDB in anyway, it's just a fact that Colin Bell was an exceptional player.

The injury destroyed not only Colin's career at the peak of his powers but Manchester City FC. We were a very good side at the time of the injury, constantly challenging for honours, afterwards it all went very, very wrong as we all know.

With Peter fucking Swales in charge, it would have gone wrong eventually, whether Colin had sustained that injury or not.
 
With the thread on Colin Bell I started to look up some of the other City players from the same era. When I came to a fellow Scouser Tony Coleman it seems like he has disappeared off the face of the earth. Remember being a really good player for 2 or 3 seasons but then he seemed to go missing. Anyone any idea what happened to him . It appears he was a bit of a smoking gun in his day .
 
He must have been some player if he was like an even better version of kdb

Didn't he emigrate to Australia?
