Would we bring out a commemorative GK top when Oggy visits the big man upstairs?
maybe a commemorative potato?
Perhaps that could be our next away shirt again.
Not sure who it would need to be at the club and if it's possible at all as I guess they would need a few thousand.
Anybody got any ideas on who would be best to ask?
Andrew Lloyd Webber would love it.I think a true cyrille recognition would be
Front - 4 quarters of the midlands clubs he played for
Back the England 1982 shirt
After a lot of pressure from football fans.I think this is the perfect tribute to our Cyrille -
Cyrille Regis: Premier League clubs to pay tribute at this weekend's matches
Nothing against the idea at all. I would certainly purchase it, but it's a big risk and the one who takes it has to be prepared to lose big and at best gain very little.

I looked at these but they appear to be really shit quality with our (new) badge ironed on. Anybody bought one?There is a replica of that shirt being sold on eBay,

But the badge is the modern stripped back one that they introduced a few years ago. I haven't seen one in person but from the page it looks like a cheap knock off from a mile away.They look ok to me, I don’t think that shirt ever went on sale originally but I’ve got an original triple sport Home shirt and that badge was ironed on, aren’t most kits badges stuck on now?

Well I’m going to buy one so I’ll let you know, looking at the badge the only difference is one has a black elephant and the other has a gold elephant, the other details are identical?
Have a feeling If the PL had been formed in the mid 80's they wouldn't have needed cajoling.After a lot of pressure from football fans.
PL clubs were not actually interested in doing anything.
The badge on the top, and that we current use, is the one on the left but our badge at the time, and up to the mid/late 2000s is the one on the right.

If I was going to buy some knock off that a bloke made in his shed off eBay I'd at least want it to look like the real thing.
Whist Cyrille Regis was an excellent man and a good player his heart was at West Brom, nothing wrong with that.Have we ever retired a shirt number? Don't believe we have. Other clubs have in the past I believe. West Ham and number 6 (Bobby Moore) for instance.
Can't see it happening so much these days with the lack of loyalty and constant changing of clubs.
Would it be worthy for the City to retire the number 9 shirt in honour of Cyrille?
Maybe we will retire the number 1 once Oggy pops his clogs.
Retiring shirt numbers is up there with one of the things I hate most in sport!

I think it was right for West Ham to retire his shirt, just a generation too late.Why?
You think it was wrong for West Ham to retire Bobby Moore's number 6 shirt?
I am sure there are some rather inane and token gestures around in the game, but retiring Bobby Moore's shirt number after the service he gave that club was admirable I would say.
What was wrong in West Ham retiring Bobby Moore's shirt? You hate the fact that West Ham retired Bobby Moore's shirt?
I'm pretty sure that shirt used to be mine
Agree. Why they waited 15 years to retire his shirt I will never understand.I think it was right for West Ham to retire his shirt, just a generation too late.
Great idea. That has legs!!!Could also do a pre-season friendly with WBA , for some kind of charity and donate proceeds. Charge £5.
Would they really need a few thousand? At the risk of sounding harsh, Cyrille was a legend on and off the pitch but I don't think we should be bringing out commemorative shirts when a past player passes.

I think what I've just typed sounds awful...it's not meant to sound as bad as it reads...I just don't see why we'd need to do this.
