Damn, working, that video was emotional, even though I never experienced that era.

Choker!

I remember that day when he strode across to the Kippax, to turn the jeers to cheers, as if it was yesterday.

The first half of that made me smile with pride ... the second has just made me cry .... bastid

[aladdinblue]

A very nice tribute by the club - and there's nowt wrong with crying because... well because it's Big Mal! x

I shall be unashamedly tearful tomorrow. Am going to see if I can get my mate Derek (massive City fan since the 50s) who drives the sky blue dedicated City taxi to go along. Think it would be nice touch from the cab trade.

Anyone else going to attend at the ground?

lovely video that....very emotional indeed that second half.

well done the club for doing the right thing and doing it so nicely (including today's funeral arrangements).

Just got back from Southern Cemetery wher Big Mal was finally laid to rest. It was very touching as everybody clapped the cortege, they had a short ceremony playing a couple of Mals favourite songs.
Lots of famous faces present, too many to list but there were tears in the eyes of many, even Tommy Doc was there.

I was going to take a few pics, but it just didnt seem appropiate, although a few other people did

What was funny was that there was abottle of champagne on ice next to Big Mal, I would imagine quite a bit of that is getting supped as I type back at COMS.

A truly emotional day

RIP BIG MAL, YOUWILL BE FOREVER IN EVERY TRUE BLUES HEART, GOODBYE AND GOD BLESS

I drove past the stadium at around two o'clock today and couldn't bring myself to go in :(

Lovely bit of film, that. Rest In Peace, big guy, gone to talk to Joe again.

[john68]

Well pissed off...The cortege was advertised to be at the stadium from 2.30-2.45. I got ther at 2.15, started to walk up at 2.20, only to meet people coming away telling me it was all over and the cortege had already left.

There were others who missed it who were not happy at all.

Thats sad to hear John ... still funeral cups for cock-ups is what he would have expected!
