Cyrille Regis

[Neville Kneville]

Sad news.

I remember the racists giving him shit at Maine Rd when he got the ball, ran in a semi circle past everyone then slammed it in the net. Fantastic.

Awful news, ambassador for black players, and a great talent. R.I.P. Cyrille.

Just watched this. Absolutely lovely. Almost got emotional myself at the end there.

What a brilliant striker Cyril Regis was and such sad news that he's passed away.

R.I.P. Cyril one of the best strikers to grace our domestic game and will never be forgotten.

Was in the Kippax the day he scored an amazing goal. Couldn't believe the clap that it got from the city fans. I'd never witnessed anything like it before or since.

To young to remember this man but listened to Alan Brazil this morning and he spoke highly of him. Great to see fellow blues speaking so highly of a none City player. RIP X

He was an amazing player along with Laurie Cunningham, sadly also no longer with us. Who can ever forget when West Brom went to Old Trafford and put five past them with the big man smashing in the fifth.

R.I.P Big man. Total respect for what you did and how you conducted yourself.

Bo Jangles was just saying the same thing on 5live about that very game, said the whole ground rose to acclaim his goal. Been some really nice tributes paid today on various media.
