My god.
Just heard it on the Radio. Aged 59 ?
RIP
Heard it on 'Breakfast TV', absolutely astounded. I've followed the Albion since the fifties and my three favourite No. 9's in this period were Ronnie Allen, Jeff Astle and Cyrille Regis. He'll always be remembered with great affection as an all time Albion great. RIP.
Just heard
I'm lost for words just had to look on the boards to see if it's true massive massive shock my god ,
Absolutely stunned by this sad news, only 59 omg rest in peace big fella.
Awful ,awful news a truly brilliant footballer and Albion legend and genuine nice guy,condolences to his family RIP big man.
Awful news. I was there for his debut in the League Cup against Rotherham. He scored one & we were 3-0 up late on and they let him take a penalty. I said to my mate that although he got 2 I wasn't too impressed and it was only Rotherham. How wrong can you be. The best £5000 Albion ever spent. For a few years he was unstoppable. I remember the look of terror on Kenny Burns's face when Cyrille grabbed him by the throat. RIP King Cyrille and thanks for some great memories.
News just sinking in. I have never seen a centre forward like him and probably never will. Immensely strong, fearsome shot, strong in the air and so very very quick. He was fearsome and I was so upset when Albion let him go. And he seemed such a very pleasant person. Thanks for all the great memories Cyrille. RIP
A truly amazing player, met him a few times, a really nice guy.
One of the few players that went to Wolves and came back to play against us and received a massive cheer when he came on.
RIP Cyrille
