RIP Freddie Hill

[Shaffer92]

Was too young to have seen him play for City but always recall his impressive hairstyle in his football card pictures of the day

Saw him play for us a few times. Obviously very skilled but sadly by that time a little slow. RIP Freddie.

Superb skills. I was very young but remember. RIP

Yes very popular. From memory bit after TC, Spiderman (Ian Mellor) then Tony Towers filled in before Dennis Tueart

He was a bit of a cult figure with me and my mates for a very short time. I remember him as very skilful but very slow - and very popular.
RIP Freddie.

I remember Freddie playing for us, RIP a pleasure to have seen you play for the Blues.

RIP Freddie. I must have seen all your games for us, as I used to go to every match, home and away, in those far off days. A classy player.

I liked Freddie. I always used to say he could put the ball on a sixpence. Not the fastest but very skilful.

RIP Freddie.

very similar to me and my mates verdict, until, well after he played his last game for us, he turned out in a charity match for ( i think) a Freddie Pye all-star game. Most of us "just in case subs" were taken aback by his pace, from the Kippax he looked and was slow, but against us amateurs, no way.
Though his legs were worn out, his brain bought him space and time, a genuine classy guy. Rip Freddie.
