'Dear Mr Sexton...Sign Nijinsky'

[Vienna_70]

Colin Bell rarely gets mentioned in the same light as Best or Charlton (as examples) but it's amazing how rated he was by fans of other teams. I've spoken to Everton, Liverpool, Leeds and Spurs fans who all watched football in the 1960's & 70's and to a man they rave about Colin Bell.

I once asked an old Stoke supporter what he thought of Colin Bell.

"World class," was his reply.

And my mate had seen a lot of football and footballers.

That's a lovely article. I loved the bit about Dave Sexton replying to the letter about The King.
