I can see the minute's applause and then the chant breaking out a number of times through the day
so Saturday should it be
Minute's Silence
Minute applause
or a minute of the whole crowd shouting "Cyrille, Cyrille"
I think the latter would be perfect
When my nan married my grandad who came over from Jamaica her entire family disowned her in the late 50s. Fuck them.
I’ve met Jim Davidson when I was on big break in 1998. “Shut that c**t kid up now” during a rehearsal. Among other things, the blokes a twat.
Last comment on it as I don’t want to go too off topic.
Remember being at Chelsea. Beat us 6-2. They had a young black lad in midfield(seem to remember his name as Keith Jones). Anyway he played a blinder and there was a large section in that tall stand to the left of us booing him/monkey noises.The stories of racist abuse back then sickens me. These people are still about, its not even that long ago. Some of the stories I hear from my mum would turn your stomach.
I’m not old enough to remember Cyrille playing but he’s in everyone’s top 5 list I’ve spoken to. Legend.
RIP.
I never realised Jason Roberts was the nephew of Cyril? Both have quite similar styles in many respects, although it's a non-brainer who was the better footballer.
There will be a Memory Book in the Family Zone on Saturday between 1.30pm - 2.30pm. All fans are welcome to come and sign and share their memories. the book will then be passed to Cyrille's family.

Not happy with Til Death Us Do Part being classified along with the other programmes mentioned. From its first episode, it highlighted bigotry and was clearly aimed at making people change their opinions on matters concerning black people, gays etc etc... Writer Johnny Speight, a labour party lover, was always delighted to tell the uninitiated that the real piss taking point of the programme was aimed at people exactly like Alf Garnett.it really was a different world - and people were very uneducated then
it is strange and sad to look back and think what was normal!
I am not talking about some of the openly nasty things, but just look back at 70s main stream comedy and entertainment
Love thy neighbour
Alf Garnett
Mind your language

Black and white minstrels etc, etc
John was Cyrilles cousin.Cyrille had a brother I remember called John who was an athlete 100 200 400m I think very quick and muscular like cyrille

No quip about uncle Bognor?John was his cousin, a brilliant 200m runner. His brother Dave was also a football pro, I seem to recall he played for Notts County amongst others.
It's not?The programme isn’t a very nice touch, as is the video.
It'd be a bit smelly by now though.Would have been nice if the team could wear the '87 kit on Saturday too, although probably unrealistic given the timescales.
I was standing next to him a few weeks ago and looked fit and healthy. So bloody sad.
Something tells me we should do something at MK Dons in the FA cup as well as Saturday? This guy contributed to one of the best days this city ever had with the FA cup.
Any suggestions?
A simple “One Cyrille Regis” chant for the entire 9th minute of the Cup match.
And on the subject of the Cup would today be an appropriate time to ask again just why on the earth the perfectly good Goal Cyrille Regis scored in the 1987 final was disallowed?
I’m pretty sure that Cyrille himself said afterwards that he accepted the decision. There was a slight nudge on the defender by Houch as he flicked it on – but the defender was very weak and I reckon the goal would have been given 8 or 9 times out of 10.And on the subject of the Cup would today be an appropriate time to ask again just why on the earth the perfectly good Goal Cyrille Regis scored in the 1987 final was disallowed?

Such a shame, because Cyrille would have scored in a Cup Final. But I’m a believer in fate, and had the goal been allowed at that stage (first half I think) it would have been a different game and maybe a different outcome.
The big man got to lift the FA Cup and I’m so glad.
I'll let you decide but watch the pushing in the wall for the 2nd!Does anyone remember a (League) cup semi final we played at Forest. Cyrille took the ball down on his thigh in the penalty area, and the ref awarded a penalty for handball?
Thank you! Another game of what might have been...I'll let you decide but watch the pushing in the wall for the 2nd!
