I was surprised the thread wasn't "Cyrille, Dion or Kevin (Kyle)
It was probably this goal that got me into truly supporting the sky blues. Dad was a big cov fan so took me up to this game. I remember when Cyril scored the surge of the crowd, the noise and the shear delight of the fans around me. Never looked back. RIP big man

What a great first game to see - no wonder you were hooked! Football is sanitised now, 15,000 standing fans, the surges, the emotion, and ee’re In the semi final of the FA Cup. Of course, we have to remember what happened at Hillsborough two short years later, and I guess those kind of days had had their time.
Funnily enough, my first ever game hooked me, it was the 5th round of the FA Cup against Sunderland in 1963, we won against a higher league team 2-1, under floodlights. Goal scorers another legend, George Curtis, and a fine full back, Dietmar Bruck The gate was officially 40,000, but a gate was broken down and many people think it was 50,000 plus. Happy days!

What a great night that was I think probably the best atmosphere I ever experienced at HR. There is something about night games..even the Wolves game didn't quite match it...

Get the fuck off the Cyrille threads will you. Chase Grendel around in a PM if you want to know his thoughts so badly - no-one is obliged to share their feelings on the matter and all you are doing is taking them off track.

As an effective player Dion.
To watch, Cyrille, hands down. To watch a man of with that physique combine power and subtlety is a thing of beauty.

What point are you trying to make? Send him a pm if you want to know his own thoughts.

So you are going to try and ruin both threads about Regis about it rather than just sending him a PM like has been suggested multiple times? Make a new thread in Off Topic if you want, but keep it out of these threads.
It is you trying to strangely whip something up, there's no need on threads like this and the other one.

that's why we have the off topic section.
And to say politics has no place in football is ridiculous. If you think what happened at Hillsborough wasn't political you're mad.

Dion was a more consistent player and versatile also, but I like players who can get me out of my seat when they get the ball, therefore I pick Cyrille.

It's a signature, it's not being manually typed and posted.
You are the one trying to disrupt the Cyrille Regis threads, nobody else. If you have an issue, PM him or put something in Off Topic if you really have to rather than quote posts from years ago as if they are relevant.

That wasn't your original point anyway, your point was that he hasn't posted on the Cyrille threads. And having been upset about that, you're now upset that someone that hadn't posted on the Cyrille thread has replied to you on the Cyrille thread but you're now more upset than before because apparently he has a political signature. And you think all that was worth taking a couple of very decent threads off topic with. Go you.

As I said, if you want to know what he thinks then PM him.
It's not about sides, on memorial type threads you are the one trying your best to cause trouble. Multiple people have pointed it out to you.
I'd much rather Grendel or anybody else did just stay quiet on these typeof threads than this sort of pointless nonsense that really has no point. I'm sure most would agree.
There's no need, if you want to know what he thinks then PM him rather than try your best to get a reaction.

Can't see anything that matches, might be a long lost relative.

Cyrille for me: pace, power, explosive raw energy. We didn’t get the best out of him but he is still a legend. He helped the club achieve its finest hour.
Dion superb all rounder upfront or at the back. More subtle in his play but quietly effective. The team evolved around him and I think we got the best from him.
Both players were great roll models for young kids watching and tremendous mentors for those breaking into the team.
We were blessed to have both.

This thread shouldn’t be active, trying to compare the merits of a recently-deceased hero with another hero who idolised him, and even getting into unrelated arguments.
At this time, you could line up the best 50 players who ever lived, and I’d still choose Cyrille above the lot of them. And I’m going to feel like that for a long while yet.

If a picture of a bloke moving some goalposts randomly appears its a slam dunk
