Cyrille Regis RIP

[jdp1962]

If you watched football in the 70s a, you'll know what a horrible environment it was for black players. But you'll also know what an eloquent and dignified man Cyrille was in facing down the racism. But on top of that, he was, let's not forget, a terrific footballer.

God Bless you, Big Cyrille.

My one clear memory of Cyrille is a fantastic goal, shot from way outside the box, flew straight in. His most famous goal?
