A very eloquent and talented gentleman. Will be sorely missed. Rest in peace (from all Liverpool supporters - YNWA)

I'm watching this in disbelief. It's almost a year now, and I still can't believe he's left us. Cyrille was a good friend, and a truly wonderful man. It's so sad to think that I can't see or speak to him anymore. RIP Big C, until we meet again!

Proper bloke and a true Christian who lived it - now in the best place - he had bottle - class x

What a sad loss. A legend and a real gent.

RIP Cyrille Regis from CCFC supporters ⚽️ such an iconic player.

RIP, himself and Laurie Cunningham were a sight to behold. Cunningham a class winger and big Cyril a brilliant centre forward.

What a legend. True legend. RIP Brother

I can safely say as a cov fan, we all loved that man. He did so well for us, and other clubs. All we have is love and respect. What a man on and off the pitch. Sorely missed. Love that man.

Incredible player and proper man! Cyril's educated opinion showing racism up for what it is... For fools! RIP Cyrille.

I'm white. My partner is Jamaican. Black white it don t matter to me. I'm not racist. I loved watching Albion. With cyrill, Laurie, Brendan, and bomber . Brilliant side of the late 70s. I don't think will ever be repeated. Well not in my life time. Rip cyrille you were the greatest .

never mind your one in Bristol, this man should have a statue put up outside Wembley! Seems like a incredibly genuine bloke.

Legend 1000's of racists and he proved them wrong

What a legend. Childhood hero.

He went to school with my brother Banos he was a very nice man

Yeah, the Three Degrees. Lovely footballers. Check the vid where they beat Man U 5-3. RIP Cyrille - articulate, brave and happy in his skin.

RIP. Brother Regis.Sticks and stones bullshit mythology. Another great athlete, who you racists broke his heart. Shame on you and your children

His voice sounds exactly like Idris Elba. He should play him in a biopic.

RIP Cyril. Got a shirt with your name on it 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What a legend! There will always be racism that’s the sad thing. Fucked up world 😞

Speaks very well, a true loss

RIP

Interesting how the 3 Degrees nickname came about, don't think i'd ever heard that before. These lads who paved the way are true legends.

What an absolute legend

I wonder what people who shouted racist invective at Mr Regis and others in those stadiums at the time think if they watch this sort of clip? Have they genuinely been harbouring hatred all these years? What's it got them? Are they richer? Difficult question cos they would never answer it, I suppose. Would be interesting to know though.

RIP so inspiring.

R.I.P

Top bloke,respect,those people shouldn't have had to go through that bigoted abuse,why didn't anybody challenge those evil boneheads!?

remarkably sober analysis

...legend

RIP big Cyrille x

Cyrille re-writing history here. I followed Aston Villa from 1968, aged 10 years,..it was very rare to see a black player in any division, they were seen as a novelty well into the 1970's. I totally disagree with this prejudiced narrative about monkey chants, hooting sounds or throwing bananas (apart from Chelsea)...it simply never happened. If it did, it was a few individuals...NOTY entire crowds....or whole stadiums. I well remember our fierce battles with local rivals West Brom but I repeat and re-emphasise there were no chants or bananas from Aston Villa fans. The only colour we cared about was claret and blue. Take a look at Villa v Spurs, 1981 on YT and you will see black striker Garth Crooks receive the ball up front several times....absolutely no hooting, no racism or bananas thrown. THAT is exactly how I remember league matches from 1968 onward. mo

Great guy. Terrible interviewer. Camera work and focus was terrible too.
