Applauding someone for their contribution to the game surely, not for them dying.Yes agree with this, never really understood applauding somebody for dying
Can't remember. Silence I think.Was there a minute applause or silence for Noel Cantwell? Certainly more owed to him than Don Howe.

Yeah, that rings a bell. Why on earth didn't that happen I wonder?I'm pretty sure there was absolutely nothing for Noel Cantwell. It was very controversial at the time and frankly shamed the club that his passing was ignored. It was as if nobody who was running CCFC had ever heard of him.

Ok, call me oblivious, but why did the club shun Noel Cantwell? Is there some transgression on his part that caused it?
Personally, I think he did what he could; stepping into the mightily huge footsteps left by Sir Jim must have been pretty daunting.
He took us into Europe and led us to a victory against a brilliant Bayern team. They didn't realise or appreciate the significance of his contribution.

There was no transgression as far as I'm aware. Cantwell is the manager who guided us to our highest ever league position and the only one to take us into Europe. It was indeed a huge job to take on and his achievement in keeping us up was immense at the time. To push on and qualify for Europe in our third season in the top flight was incredible too, especially as there was lots of pressure to push on after survival for two years. Remember the slogan - 'Rocket the Sky Blues into Europe', which he did.
To snub him was unforgivable. It was under the old regime and soon after we moved to the Ricoh when he died. As I recall, his passing wasn't even mentioned at the next home game. It was a gaffe of the worst sort.
