Has to share part of a article by BBC Sport's chief football writer, Phil McNulty in tribute to Cyrille
"Regis was a gentle man away from football but such was his threat on the field, particularly when subjected to heavy physical attentions from opponents, that opposing managers used to specifically instruct their players not to upset him or annoy him in any way as the results could be devastating. In full flight, Regis was a magnificent sight."
For some reason the tweet from Shelia Ferguson brought a smile to my face, so thought I would share that as well.
Heartbreaking news #cyrilleregis was one of the nicest guys I have ever know. My sincerest condolences to all his family and friends RIP.(broken heart emoji)............ then continued:
When we (The Three Degrees) met West Brom Albion's 3Degrees. Cyril and I took the PR stunt rather seriously. Sx (emoji: heart - Rose - kiss lips)
