What a shame this is. A really good centre forward. Didn't score prolifically for us but his sheer presence was awesome creating many goals for others

59 is no age!

RIP Cyrille. CCFC legend

R.I.P. Big Cyrille.

It was a pleasure to see him play for us.

Saw him regularly in the the lounges and he looked great.

True Sky Blue legend

Big Cyril passed away last night. Aged just 59.

The passing of a City legend.

RIP. Met him at Leeds away once, seemed like a nice fellow as well as obviously being a club ledge. Sad times.

RIP Big Cyrille. Same age as me, similar type of player to me, except he was better in every aspect! Puts a 1-0 defeat as being catastrophic into context.
Also, at the time we had Cyrille, I always thought at the time we had picked him up at the 'end' of his career - whereas he was still in his prime at the time of the FA Cup final. Great player, seemed a lovely bloke (met him once) - god bless him and his family.

Just said on Sky Sports News it was a heart attack.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

Best wishes to his family and friends. He will be missed.

RIP Cyrille.
Loved you man, wish we had one like you now.
Can still see him running with his finger in the air after scoring a goal.
His Bless and good night.

Genuinely gutted. Spent the late 80s and early 90's travelling the country watching City, so I'm proud to say I saw him in his pomp.
Rest in peace, you giant of a man.

Hero of mine
What a player
loved him at WBA - adored him when he played for us - absolute legend

The first departure from 87
He would have been worth £80 m today

Dreadful news.

RIP

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Man, this news shocked me, RIP for the big legend. I was glad I got to see him and the other '87 legends play just once, albeit at Mickey Gynn's Testimonial game!

Rip big fella,thanks for the great memories,condolences to all his family.

 

[ceetee]

One of our former players who can truly be described as a legend

 

[Esoterica]

Shocking. A proper legend and pioneer. Was the kind of guy I expected to go on forever and still look ripped at 90. RIP.

I know it sounds pedantic and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but can we get his name corrected in the thread title? Seems sad to have such a lovely outpouring while we can't even get his name right.

RIP big man
You are and always will be a legend

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

So sad, this guy gave us so many joyous moments to remember. Rest In Peace Big C, wag that finger and arms are you race on upwards sir.

RIP BIG CYRILLE REGIS...PUSB

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hope there is a moments silence or something planned for him at the next home game. Absolute legend here and a pioneer for the game as a whole. very sad news.

 

[Calista]

Feeling shocked and quite distraught about this. What a great man and a uniquely talented player who gave us some unforgettable times.

RIP Cyrille and thanks for everything.

RIP Cyrille Regis , one of the first city player names i ever learnt as a kid

 

[hinckley cov]

What terrible news to wake up too.

 

[hackneyfox]

RIP Cyril Regis

 

[ccfcway]

am I right in thinking Cyril is the first of the 87 team and management that we have lost

 

[richnrg]

i'm at work re-living some of his goals and greatest moments in my head with a tear in my eye.

 

[ecky]

RIP Big Cyrille and massive respect
You brought great times to the club when you played and I remember some great goals and some great games at highfield road

So sad to hear of your passing at such a young age

 

[Liquid Gold]

When we here the whistle blow
You should see big Cyrille go
Sky blues, shooting to win
