Happy 70th birthday Colin Bell

As a teenager I went to check my new seat while he was injured, as i came back through the turnstile he was coming through I stepped aside, by the time i got to the other side of the turnstile I had tears in my eyes watching him hobble through, I new my hero would struggle to get back, Happy birthday King I'm 62 and still have great memory's, you affected so many of us, the best player ever to play in the shirt
 
Happy belated Birthday greeting to King Colin.

My boyhood hero - simply the best player I've ever seen in a blue shirt bar none.
 
Saw a programme once with Malcolm in it saying he was at Gigg Lane watching Colin with a whole host of other scouts.

Malcolm started making adverse comments out loud every time Colin got the ball during this game ie he can't control the ball....poor header etc in an effort to put the others off him and it worked!! As Kippaxcitizen said it was the best £45,000 anyone has spent
 
We used to sing this on the Kippax, would be great to hear it again

His name is Colin Bell
and from Bury he did come
To play for old Joe Mercers team
back in division one
And when you walk down Main Road
you’ll always hear the cry
We are the best team in the land
that no one can deny

Maine Road!!!

For my 65th birthday last year, one of my friends bought me a retro shirt with a number 8 on it. Obviously, she had done her homework.
