Never forget Derby away in the FA Cup in 1992. Derby 3 Villa 4.

A true icon and from what all who know him are saying, a true gentleman.

59. Way too young. :21:

 

[Trekker]

It’s been reported that Cyrille Regis has died aged 59.
Way too young.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Surely not? Oh my God, that's unbelievable...

 

[Pride of Lions]

Yes, he died last night after suffering a heart attack.

Sad, sad loss.

RIP Big Cyrille, taken far too young. A true gent and inspiration to many.

I assume and hope there’ll be a minutes applause before kick off on Saturday, sad news especially at his age. RIP

Oh dear. What a start to the day.

Met him once at a cricket match .Lovely bloke , very unassuming.

 

[McGrath4Pope]

Sad news - RIP big man.

 

[pvb1968]

To think he came to us at 33 on a free from Coventry. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but I would bet you would struggle to find anyone who would have a bad word to say about him , makes you realise how precious everyday is . RIP

RIP Cyrille Regis.

 

[VillaTomB38]

Met him in the north stand car park when I was young (Sure it was before a European game), I remember feeling really small next to him and as everyone is saying, a very nice bloke!

Such as great shock to hear this. RIP big man.

 

[wittonite]

Our obituary page is getting way to much use just lately.
RIP big Cyrille.

 

[MollyCruyff]

Heard from a source close to him that he had this virus that's going about and was due to have a CT scan in the next few days.

Built like an ox - you don't expect illnesses like this to affect people like Cyrille, especially when they're one of your heroes.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Shocked and saddened by this
RIP Big Cyrille, an absolute gent and legend of the game.

I was behind the goal with the Villa fans at the Albion. In those days the teams would only come out ten mins before the game and have a little kick about. Cyrille was near the corner flag and a few pissed up Villa idiots made there way to him armed with banana’s and threw them at him

He just smiled picked one up and ate it and waved to them.

RIP Gentleman Cyrille
