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!
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 .
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.
Ed Ra RAcists didn't break his heart He was stronger that them. He was more than them. He stood up to the crap. Cyrill, Laurie, Brendan brilliant players. Cyrill I know you cannot read this bless you. But when I was a lad you were my hero. And always will be.
Dominik Young yep. I was home and away with leeds in the 80s and saw what he went through. What he says about the srreets is correct. Only in the stadiums. We tried to sign him in 84 to join terry connor. We would have been the first team with a dual black strike force. Terry connor was loved by us and how he put up with what was going on around him speaks volumes for the man.
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.
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
A very eloquent and talented gentleman. Will be sorely missed. Rest in peace (from all Liverpool supporters - YNWA)

What a sad loss. A legend and a real gent.
Incredible player and proper man!
Cyril's educated opinion showing racism up for what it is... For fools! RIP Cyrille.
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

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

never mind your one in Bristol, this man should have a statue put up outside Wembley! Seems like a incredibly genuine bloke.
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.
Legend 1000's of racists and he proved them wrong
His voice sounds exactly like Idris Elba. He should play him in a biopic.
Horatio Huskisson Definitely. The movie should simply be called "Cyrille".
thats a good idea
What a legend. Childhood hero.
Speaks very well, a true loss
He went to school with my brother Banos he was a very nice man
RIP Cyril. Got a shirt with your name on it 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
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 a legend! There will always be racism that’s the sad thing. Fucked up world 😞
What an absolute legend
RIP so inspiring.
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
