Malcolm Allison RIP - Confirmed

[bumbleblue]

Whenever I hear some fool in the media/wider football world saying that Manchester City have no history, the legacy of just this one great man gives that crude statement the contempt it deserves. Rest well mate.

This, very well put 3HT. RIP Big Mal

My events of today pale into insignificance with this news.

R.I.P big Mal I don,t smoke but I'll toast one for you.

See you on the other side blue!

I'm a songwriter by trade. I was trying to think of a song that truly encapsulates Big Mal and this is it. A cover of a masterpiece by the genius American folksinger Phil Ochs.

What a top bloke - really shoved it up the rags a***s' put them in their place, shows they haven't changed in their cock-headidness, we keep bouncing back and now is our time and our opportunity.

The next trophy is for Big Mal and Joe - shove it up the reds ar**s

What goes round comes round

When we win the first trophy (hopefuly the league) they will weep forever!

Goodbye Mal

RIP Big Mal. A trophy this year would be the best tribute, along with a statue. Come on, blue boys. I was a toddler in '68 but was there in '74 and '76 with my dad. Semi final and final replay in '81 with my mates. All the dark years in the 80's and 90's. Wembley '99. CTID. This is a poignant moment in our history. I just hope the media pay due credit to his coaching ability.

Only just found out about this gutted R.I.P Mal an absolute legend

 

[Bert Trautmanns Neck Brace]

RIP big Mal. The word legend in football is misused in most cases, but is the ONLY way to remember you.

 

[Neil_K]

Very sad news. RIP Big fella, larger than life character sadly missing from football today. I doubt we'll see the likes of Malcolm and his ilk again. Gone but never forgotten.

Credibility. That's what you gave us. God bless, Mal - RIP big fella.

 

[MJB]

RIP Big man a true legend, we don t have many but he is one . God bless

 

[Pezzer2]

RIP Malcolm. How Ironic and fitting would it be to end our trophy drought this season.

 

[Swales lives]

The word 'legend' is bounded about too often it's almost lost it's meaning.

Big Mal - a football genius, a man years ahead of his time, a generous and charming man, a true gent and a real LEGEND. God Bless you Malcolm, you'll never be forgotten by us Blues. RIP.
