sad news,RIP big mal...
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.
