Title: Cyrille Regis Post by: Shoemaker on January 15, 2018, 07:51:57 am Sad news about cyrille Regis
Am I right in thinking he played against us for Coventry when we beat them in the fa cup? Title: Re: Cyrille Regis Post by: just.reading on January 15, 2018, 09:00:37 am Yes he came on as a sub
Title: Re: Cyrille Regis Post by: Baby Bear on January 15, 2018, 09:28:42 am Lovely man, stood next to him at the back of the west stand on a few occasions when he was on scouting duty, around the time we had Bunn and Chambers.
A pioneer and role model to a whole generation of black footballers, he and his peers really did help to change footballs culture for the better. Title: Re: Cyrille Regis Post by: Manwork04 on January 15, 2018, 15:45:38 pm V sad news, seems like yesterday he came on as sub with Speedy for Cov in the FA cup.
BTW we lost to Rochdale in the next round, we had more fans there than they did ;D Title: Re: Cyrille Regis Post by: #Frank on January 15, 2018, 16:56:09 pm Shocked to hear this sad news today. Cyrille was one of the names people of my age would pretend to be when playing as a kid.

BTW we lost to Rochdale in the next round, we had more fans there than they did ;D ?? We took about 3,000 in a crowd of 9,000 to Rochdale ?? What a bleak day that was. Keith Welch was in goal for them. We were shockingly poor after the euphoria of the Cov win, Regis and all. I went to Spotland the following season in the league - attendance about 1,800 ! |
