RIP Big Mal

Thanks for so many happy memories.

I had the good fortune to meet him once, about 20 years ago in a bar in Dubai of all places.

He took time to chat and only had fond words for the club. I was grateful for getting the opportunity to thank him for the joy and excitement he'd given me as a kid growing up on the Kippax. Thank you and RIP Malcolm.

Before my time but every City fan knows what he means to this club, I'll raise a glass this evening.

RIP Malcolm

RIP Malcolm, wasnt around when you were involved with the club, but forever a huge part in our history.

Gutted, and especially as one who had seen his teams, the first and second time around.
And you know the first txt i got regarding this was from a red who was sad at his demise. To me that sums him up.

This is an actual RIP thread that is deserving of the cause. Dare i say the first 'celebrity' coach anywhere and he fully deserves any accolades thrown at him. We 'all' remember the good times.

Re: Malcolm Allison

My instincts tell me this will be true. If it is it will be a tragic day for the club.

Chin up DD, he'll be Joe's right hand man again now.

Is this image from when he went infront of the streford end signaling '3' and we went on to win 3-0?

A sad, sad day. I've tears in my eyes.

Some nice sentiments on here <a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F19080873?thread=7816430&show=50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F19080873? ... 30&show=50</a>

He was a special man & comments like this prove it...

Utd fan here in peace.

A sad sad day for football. Another in a long line of true football greats who are forever lost. Shanks, Paisley, Robson, Busby, and now Allison. His achievements were awesome, and I hope true football fans everywhere take time to remember this great man. If you're too young to remember him, please google him. He dominated football with his personality for many years.

A sad sad day and my heart goes out to his family, and City fans everywhere.

A very sad day for our club.

RIP Big Mal. We will never see your like again.

RIP Big Mal let's hope one day that Bobby Manc is held in the same esteem.

Another larger than life character gone home.
Thanks Mal for all the joy and memories that you have given City fans during your life. We are indebted to you for your part in the rich history of our beloved club. RIP.

Would it not be fitting if we won a trophy this season. Lets hope that this motivates the team to bring some silverware to the club and complement the trophies that Big Mal helped bring in.

Thanks for everything you did for City Mal. You were an absolute bloody legend. R.I.P

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I started following City when Big Mal took over 2nd time around which wasn't the happiest of times for City.

But I'll always think of Big Mal fondly. He'll always be loved by City fans everywhere

And that speaks volumes when we could conceivably claim that he was a much a catalyst of our decline as Swales. Yet we all still loved him.

You and Big Joe can teach them how to play upstairs together now
