RIP Glyn Pardoe .

Was just before my time so never saw him play in the flesh. Was well thought of by all I have read on him. RIP

Awful news. Youngest ever player for us at 15! A record that will likely to stand for all time

RIP

Very good player indeed - until a certain player broke his leg - deliberately in my opinion. Tried to come back but with the medical knowledge of the day it didn't really happen.

RIP

George Best , shocking challenge . Two of our greatest players in Colin Bell and Glyn Pardoe both careers ended by rags .

Yes I remember both too, was it Buchan who finished Colin? anyway I remember Glyn Pardoe, he started as a forward, then was moved to left back under Mercer/Allison if I recall, fantastic player RIP Glyn.

Also not to be forgotten is his role with Tony Book as youth team coach for years. RIP Glyn.

Hopefully Tommy Doyle gets to finish a rags career one day.

RIP - Great player and a real legend...not a fuckign pretend one, that far too many people for my liking dish out these days.

Scored in the 1970 League Cup Final against West Brom on the worst Wembley pitch ever.
RIP

Yes Buchan destroyed Colin Bells career with a disgusting leg breaker in the Maine Rd center circle , absolutely horrific . City still battered the rag bastards 4-1 I think ?

4-0 on my birthday 12th Nov 1975 my first ever game, taken to the game by a rag father and only other blue in my family uncle. Old fella did one at half time as we were battering them I got home to a a dad who had to accept I was a blue he went bat crazy. Sad and great memory Colin Bell was my dream player.

Yep - same from me RIP Glyn

RIP Glyn - A proper City Player.

Sad stuff. Before my time obviously but families family ain't it? A true Blue.

Best tribute will be that Tommy makes it!!!

Very sad news indeed, A great player for City and a role model for many youngsters. Much admired , never seeking the spotlights. Got the job done.

One of our best left backs in my lifetime.

Also Tommy Doyle's grand-father I think.

RIP GP.

Just read this. RIP Big Lad.
