Top player and great striker.
RIP 😞


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Very sad news. What a great player he was and always came across as a nice guy too.

Saw him play against Town early 80's, what a strong, awkward and no nonsense player he was, and a good finisher, a centre backs nightmare. A real shame, that really is no age.

What an icon and trailblazer this guy was. Great player too and his goal of the season sticks in my mind above all others. Was a great era before money started to destroy the game.

RIP and thanks for some great memories.

As a young lad who just loved watching football, Cyrill Regis was always a player I looked forward to watching whenever he graced Match of the Day or ITV's The Big Match. A great player indeed. I wonder what he'd cost in today's crazy transfer market.

A sad loss.

As a young lad, I went to a few WBA games in the late 70s with my uncle and cousins from the black country. All huge Albion fans, it was a special time for them, with Big Cyrille, Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson, the Three Degrees. There will be a huge outpouring of grief in those parts, he was like a god to them, and by all accounts, a very humble and kind man that mixed with the fans..

RIP Big Cyrille

A great player and one of my all time favourites quite similar to Lukaku in many ways but his hold up play and first touch  I would say was better.Saw him play live at BP for Coventry and he knocked Paul Agnew clean out after running into him he was a beast of a centre forward and admired by fans of most opposing Clubs.RIP
