    Cyrille Regis MBE passes away

    Cyrille Regis, brother of Notts' goal hero Dave Regis, has passed away aged just 59.

    The article is well worth a read, especially for those too young to remember his impact on the game.

    Anyone, like me who was brought up watching football in the 70's/80's will have nothing but fond memories of Cyrille Regis. Always remember him as a proper footballer and a beast of a striker. Sad loss and no age.

    I was privileged to watch him play some games for Albion in the late 70s and early 80s when he was at his best. A great centre forward and one of a great trío, who despite many obstacles, achieved so much for black players in the game.

    Funnily enough that was the first image I had come to mind when I heard the news. I actually used to really like that strip.
