Sol Bamba

Best wishes to him...I still reference him when a CB gives me heart in the mouth moments

Hope the big man beats it!

Fond memories of Sol at a time when most players weren’t revered.

He was respected for having great ability as a centreback but the concentration span of a gnat meaning he got himself the endearing nickname bomb-scare bamba.

However he was enjoyable to watch abs at a time when some players weren’t playing for the shirt, I always felt he was and he did so with a smile on his face.

I hope he beats this and recovers well.

Sad news - best wishes to Sol, he was always entertaining.

For information, best wishes can be passed on to Sol via email to Cardiff City:

Great character. Debut goal v the mighty Man City inside 5 minutes! Unlucky to not have won and got taken to a Replay!

Best wishes for a full recovery.

La-la-la-la-la Sol Bamba!! Sol Sol Bamba!

Just want to add my best wishes to Sol & his family at this difficult time - my next-door neighbour had this problem in his early 40s and went through all the chemo etc., coming through it all well and is now fighting fit so we hope & pray for the same for Sol.

One of my favourite players when he was with us, wish him all the best and hope he beats it .

Very sad news obviously hope he beats it. Had one of the best starts to a city career ever against man city

My own son was diagnosed with this and is thankfully all clear now after a long and difficult period of chemotherapy. Hope you go the same way Sol, thoughts are with you
