Colin Bell....

[MCC]

Too young to remember Colin myself but looks to have been the complete player. I used to have a t-shirt with King Colin and underneath were the words......Better then Best...

What I would like to know is which modern(ish) player is/was like Colin Bell? From the limited action that I have seen I would say he looks like a Lampard/Scholes/Gerrard type?

Nijinsky was better than fat Frank, the bin dipper and ginger pig's best parts rolled into one!

Also, he covered much more ground in every match than any of his contempories.

In short, he was the complete player.

My dad still says Bell is the best footballer hes ever seen
He was there in the Kippax when he made his comback(came on for the 2nd half against Newcastle?)
He said grown men had tears in their eyes on the Kippax as no-one thought he would ever return to football because the injury was that bad, he received a standing ovation for about 10 minutes i think

There hasn't been a player quite like him since. Had everything.

 

[remoh]

I can't think of anyone playing at the moment who is anything like him.
