No way... Truly truly tragic. 
Absolute legend. Will always remember meeting him at Highfield Road in the 90s & what a great guy he was. Real gentle giant.

How we could do with him in the team right now! Unfortunately, he was only one of a kind. It's very sad. I can remember how good he was from his debut as a teenager around 1957 was it?
RIP George, thoughts are with the family.
Rip George you gave all us sky blues fans some of the best days of our lives
Thanks for everything George. Huge respect. Rest easy fella.
Obviously well before my time, but appreciate everything he did for our club, RIP George Curtis 
George Curtis was a massive figure in the history of Coventry City and his contribution will stand as long as the club stands. Great leader and I will never forget the photo of George on the stretcher at Forest with a broken leg in our second game in the top division. looked totally unfazed. Legend.
Occasionally delivered what was then The Coventry Evening Telegraph to his home in Allesley Park and hoped to catch a glimpse of him.
RIP George.

This is a sad day, George Curtis is the greatest of all Coventry City servants and stalwarts, made debut at 16, great player, great club captain, loyal servant once retired and manager of our Cup-Final team.
Thank you George (the Tank) Curtis

Top bloke, tough as they come and a Sky Blue Legend. Thanks for everything RIP
RIP George, the word legend gets thrown about too much these days, but this man truly was one.
RIP George.
Absolute Legend of a City player and I hope the club pays tribute in a manner that fits his status in our history.

That's made me sad. My Dad regularly played squash against him in the 70's, said he was a top bloke but ultra competitive as you can imagine.
I hope the club can make a fitting tribute to him for the Forest game. RIP George.

RIP George. I remember throwing my season ticket onto the pitch one game in anger. After the game having calmed a bit I went around to the office at highfield road and George was in there. When a legend like George Curtis tells you you’re a prat you tend to listen. He went and got it and safe to say I never did anything like that again. A true gent and such a sad loss.

Sad news, RIP George. Your name will be forever ingrained in the history of our club.
Ohhh what a sad day, I remember seeing him at the Boro' ground the night before we played Bayern, he had broken his leg at the time, he looked absolutely huge and towered above me, I then seen him at a pre season friendly years later and I was taller than him, I recounted my thoughts to him and had a lovely chat with him, the word legend is bandied around at times but he was a true legend...RIP big man sad sad loss in my mind you will always be that towering figure !!
