RIP Colin Bell

Really sad to hear this. Genuinely one of the best players I was ever lucky enough to see.

City used to train on Christies Playing field once. Used to climb the barbed wire fence to sit around the changing huts to see Malcolm put them through their paces. Bell, Marsh, Doyle, Corrigan, Kiddo etc.etc.

Always scraping amongst each other.

Very sorry to hear this. What sad news. One of the greats. A proper footballer.

Very sad news.
What a player he was.

dreadful news.

City's greatest ever player. Class act. RIP Nijinsky

I vaguely remember franny burns chopping him down from behind in the penalty area at the stretford end, I think city won 4-0 but he was on the treatment table for many months following that ‘tackle’ I think that was the start of his long term knee problem

It was always a pleasure to watch that team, full of really great players and he was along with Merlin the best I ever saw in a City shirt. Really sad, no great age at all.

Colin, you really were the King of the Kippax.

RIP
