My first and favourite Albion hero. Rest in peace big man.

I used to walk past the statue every day for a few years and give it a tap.

All I remember is him being my hero. I don’t think when you’re really young you even see colour, until the world teaches you to, but I’m forever glad what that man & the club did for how I saw it when it does

Absolute legend.

A hero of mine (the only none family picture up in my study) and a pioneer of his time. An inspiration to us all.

He, Laurie and Brendan probably did more for race relations in the Black Country than anyone ever.  A true hero in every sense of the word.

Every time his birthday or anniversary comes around I am always reminded how young he was when he went. Even at 68 he still should have had many years ahead of him.

Didn't get to see him play unfortunately, but I remember listening to WM the day he died and listening to all the memories.

It's clear he holds a special place for a lot of people and one of the last to hold that "hero" status for a lot of Albion fans.

My favourite Albion player and hero.
Laurie was the best I ever saw but Cyrille is my favourite.

[Tom Joad 25]

The only bloke in a wolves shirt to ever be applauded on the Hawthorns pitch.

My favourite Albion player and hero.
Laurie was the best I ever saw but Cyrille is my favourite.

My thoughts exactly, every opposing centre half limped off the pitch with their head down after facing Cyrille, pity for them it was only half time.

Rest easy legend.
