Staggeringly bad news - a true legend - RIP Mike

Here is the video i was talking about. 9m55s and you'll see Doyle stand his ground with what i thought was a dozen fans.

That's his fucking legacy. It's about 10.20, not 9.55.

Watch them come to taunt him, watch him turn and front them out. Then watch his walk towards them. Literally hundreds of them all back off together.

A lion of a man

The demon booze, 64 is no age, still..........he wore the blue shirt with pride and hated the rags. RIP.

R I P and condolences to all who were close to him.

A true blue and one of us in every way. Very over used word is Legend, but not in this case.
R.I.P.

I was at that game and that's my abiding memory of Mike Doyle, parting the wave of Rags. He and Dave Watson are still the best centre back paring that I've seen at City. One of the Bluest players to wear the shirt.

Tragic news

RIP Mike Doyle

 

[Frozen Fire]

Never saw him play live as he was before my time but a City Legend none the less.

RIP Mike Doyle

 

[MCFC BOB]

That's really awful news. What a sad day this is for City.

RIP Mike.
