A graceful player and humble with it according to reports. I remember in the mid 1960s seeing Colin Bell play for Bury against Bolton who fielded Francis Lee. Gigg Lane was rocking that evening as our Dads took us to see a better standard of football than we were used to at Spotland. How times change... | | | |

City put out a very strong team against us in the League Cup tie at Maine Road in September 1972. Bell would've been in his prime then
It was my first visit to a ground in the top tier and although the details are hazy, the general consensus was that 4-0 was a decent scoreline for Dale! Wonder if anyone's got a programme?
Pretty sure Bell and the other top players turned out that night |  |

Not a City fan but i adored Colin Bell in my youth. The best box to box player of his generation. He set the template for all those that rolled, including Jonah.
Enjoy that pitch in the after life Colin, and thank you. | | | |

Watched that game from the Kippax. First and only time I stood there although there wasn’t a relatively massive crowd. Around 20000 from memory.
City played all theOr big names and I can’t really remember us having too many efforts on goal.
Worth going to tick the box though and for the experience. | | | |
