FINALLY THE MOMENT IS HERE! THE GREATEST EVER PLAYER TO EMBRACE THE MCFC KIT IS*DRUM ROLL PLEASE!* NUMBER 1 >>>Colin Bell 1966-79, 501 appearances, 153 goals.There is no doubt that Colin Bell is recognised as the best player Manchester City has ever had by the vast majority of the teams supporters, and there seems little reason to question this consensus. Bell Jordan Martinook Men Jersey was, after all, the top man in arguably the clubs greatest ever side and he went on to establish himself as afigure in the England team, eventually taking over as captain from Bobby Moore.One thing that shocked me is the way he just never stopped running, similar to Dirk Kuyt or Javier Mascherano in todays Premier League. Colin Bell was scarcely ever still and he specialised in driving runs from midfield, either carrying the ball or getting up in support of his forwards and Elias Lindholm Jersey scoring goals.City stumped up45,000 to take the midfielder to Maine Road, probably, if not certainly, the best amount of money dished out for a player. Without the crucial goals he scored, not to mention the all round involvement, City might have struggled to survive Division One.Within football Bell became widely nicknamed Nijinsky after the great racehorse, and most people say this is a fitting tribute. His performances brought him recognition from Alf Ramsey (England Coach), who handed Bell his England debut Lee Stempniak Men Jersey in1968. It was just a shame that Ramsey wasseemingly incapable or unwilling to grasp the concept of replacements when he named Bell on the bench, thus he never really got his chance.Bell, whilst playing for England, kept on churning out performances, goals and clocking up the hard yards with a vengeance for City.However Bell suffered an horrif injury in his late 20s. Whilst defending, he was caught by Mark Buchan and unfortunately the force on Bells standing leg was collosal as it hadcaught in the turf and was not able to give as he fell awkwardly. The injury was severe, with damage to artery and blood ve sels. Worst of all, the extent of the damage was not initially diagnosed and when Bell attempted a comeback towards the end of that season clotted blood from the original injury caused cartilage to splinter and the midfield master would be out for a further eighteen months. His international career was over, but would he be able to make a City comebakc?Colin Bell made an emotional return as a substitute in 1977 and inspired the team Janne Kuokkanen Kids Jersey to a 4-0 win, but the real Colin Bell never truly returned. His career had been ruined by a dreadful Roy Keane esque challenge.Bells was more than a good engine and more than someone who could pop up from midfield with a goal. There was always a purpose behind the running, unlike someone like Felipe Caicedo nowadays.He was always available, wearing his heart on his sleeve. He wasa good user of the ball who was capable of supplying the killer pa s and he also tracked back and helped the side defend; something you rarely see from the likes of Robinho. He Cam Ward Men Jersey mirrored someone like Steven Gerrard, a true, inspirational leader and a good tackler. The complete midfielder.A man of his ability who only wanted to be noticed every Saturday on the football field, its no wonder the City fans loved him. He is now respected throughout football and adored by everyonea sociated with Manchester City, both young and old.Long live The King! |
