RIP Billy McNeil

[Stevieatlasblue]

Sad day for football. Always remember him in the dugout waving the pitch invaders off towards end of the Charlton game. RIP fella.

I remember that too. Very sad day for football.

R.I.P

billy was a legend in the game and could have been at manchester city but for swales and board not backing him, city had a youth team and 7 or 8 that was that good they demanded a first team place at the time, and billy knew 3 or 4 major signings and city would have a great squad and going places but swales did not ??

Very very true.

RIP big man, " look at his face, just look at his face", who can ever forget that commentary by Barry Davies, about Billy in the Charlton game?.

RiP.

Shouldn't it be in the main City forum though as he was a City manager.

I remember that too. Very sad day for football.

I think if he'd stayed, the rest of the 80s wouldn't of been so bad..but then again, Shredded wheat head was still there so maybe not.
