Sad to convey the news that one of the club's genuine legends has passed on today.

BERT TRAUTMANN

Postby Manx Blue » Fri Jul 19, 2013 11:15 am

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

cant find anything? Nothing on any official channel, I will amend the title until we have confirmation, not like the internet to spread hoax news, hope its not true.

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.
Hoping our new rollercoaster gives us the thrill of our lives.

Oh no

that's news you never hope to hear.
Peerless example of so many things including courage, skill, commitment and compassion.
The backbone of our legacy and impossible to replace.
Sleep tight big un.
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.
