I’ve had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach since I first read the news around 7am.
Met Cyrille once in the players lounge at Stoke and he was a really nice guy and happy chatting to a ‘Baggie’. Seem to remember the game was a draw with Stoke pressing hard for a winner. Cyrille’s comment was “It was like the feckin Alamo” with a huge smile on his face.
The Big Man will be sadly missed as was the other ‘King’, Jeff Astle. Can’t imagine how his wife and family are feeling. I’m just so glad Cyrille watched us hopefully turn the corner against Brighton.
