Malcolm Allison RIP - Confirmed

Quality post from a Plymouth fan...

Argyle fan in sadness.
RIP Malcomn Allison.
He was a larger than life character famed for his 'fedora' and 'cigars'. I seem to remember he was also involved in getting a Page 3 (Sun) girl in the communal bath with his team. I can still remember the day he left Argyle for Man City.
If you played a game with 11 of the worlds best players against 11 topless models all the press would be pointing cameras at him - not the game.
RIP and thanks for the 'alternate manager approach' - real fresh air.
I hope that Man C / Argyle and Bath (didn't he start there and go back for Tony Book) hold a 1 min celebration this weekend. The last thing Mal would want is a minutes silence. He would be chuffed looking down and seeing thousands wearing a fedora and a big cigar.
RIP and thanks

This. Just reading about his teams was a pleasure.

A sad day. Can't remember the last time a City related death made my day stop like this.

As a previous blue said, for a club that supposedly has 'no' history, Malcolm will always be a big part of our history.
The coat, the cigar, the passion, the man. That was Malcolm for me. Unfortunately, he was before my time as well but everything I have ever heard or seen of Malcolm impressed me.
Again, a man before his time. An inventor on the training pitch, and an instigator of footballing dreams.
A few people have mentioned his run to the Kippax when he was Palace manager and wish they were there to see it. Well, this is the best I can do I'm afraid.

Malcolm, you are part of the club, the fans, the city and the game.
Forevermore,
MM
