‘Cyrille would have been so proud’
Cyrille Regis’s capacity to bring the region’s rival clubs together has lost none of its power since his sudden death stunned football last year.
The great Cyrille left us in January, 2018 and brought tears and testimonials as his legendary career and inspiring personality were celebrated.
The former England centre forward famously played for four Midlands rivals in Albion, Coventry, Villa and Wolves earning the admiration of all four fan bases in the process.
And three of the four clubs came together to celebrate the launch of the Cyrille Regis Legacy Trust, a mentoring project which will specifically target the 15-year-old age group.
