Unconfirmed reports on another forum that he has passed away. Nothing on the internet as yet.
The flag was at half mast at the stadium when Cooper gave a report on the Negredo signing, but this could be for George Smith

I can confirm it - his son was on the phone to my mate a while ago - my mate is a family member
The family had been hopeful that he could recover from 2 recent heart attacks but complications in lungs had resulted

He was my hero as a child and as a man, he inspired True Grit and an ability to overcome whatever life threw at him. He was unity, forgiveness, compassion and humanity. No City fan will ever forget him, a true legend. My condolences to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.
