I'd been a professional for two and a half months and Malcolm had taught me everything I know.... When Malcolm was coaching schoolboys he took a liking to me when I don't think anyone else at West Ham saw anything special in me... I looked up to the man. It's not too strong to say I loved him."

R.I.P big mal, my dad told me that he used to live near us, and that he would go into our local pub and always drink champagne! city legend!
 
An absolute titan. Paradise just gained one helluva coach.

Hope he's kicking it with Big Joe, fedora on and lighting a cigar from St Peter's personal stash.

Rest in peace, Big Man.
 
I was not able to post at work when I found out

RIP Big Mal

Unfortunatly(wishing my life away) I wasn't born to witness the glory years

My family and fellow blues rightly regard you as the best coach we have ever had

Hope in the future we get someone even greater than you

You were a Winner and we could do with that bit of balls to add to the multi million pounds of talent

Remember the past and look forward to the future
 
srad day. I never missed a game in them days and loved Big Mal and Joe for what they did for the club. Great characters who got the team playing with the same swagger! R.I.P
 
I feel honoured to be old enough and to have attended the 69 Final and many more matches in the Allison/Mercer era.

The big man was blue through and through and should be mourned and respected as one of the all time City greats.

RIP Big Malc!!!!
 
Big Mal,

You are part of the reason I support City.

Though I never saw the Blues in the flesh during any of your time here, I followed them as passionately as anyone in those days (and still do, of course).

There is no doubt in my mind that you are the greatest football coach who ever lived and you partnership with Sir Joe was as good as any there has ever been.

Your coaching methods and fitness regime were years ahead of their time and you have never received the recognition you deserved because you weren't in charge of one of the so-called 'glamour clubs'.

I only ever saw you once in the flesh, and that was after the Bore-o game during Sven's time. It was obvious that your health was starting to fail, but there was no mistaking who you were. I'm so glad I had that chance to see you and shake your hand.

We have a photo of you shaking hands with Frank, and he looks so proud to have met you.

Rest In Peace, Malcolm. You helped make all City supporters proud and we will never see your like again.
