The wife and her family knew him and his family. They’re all gutted, he was a lovely bloke apparently, although that seems obvious even if you didn’t know him. He was absolutely adored by the black community in Handsworth where his kids went to school, such a great role model.Great player, still can’t fathom why BFR didn’t take him with him to Man Utd, he would have been great for them.RIP Cyrille.
Of his goals I remember the chip Vs Forest in 92 and the volley Vs Oldham. There was also a rocket Vs Southampton at home he absolutely fired into the North Stand goal. This was the season I had my one and only season ticket so him and Yorke were the two stars of that side, the nucleus of which finished second in the premier league the next year.

And the iconic goal of the season for Albion against Norwich in the cup. I think he got a couple of good ones at Hillsborough in the quarter final when Coventry won the cup.
