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. GOD

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.

A great player indeed. I wonder what he'd cost in today's crazy transfer market. A sad loss.

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

RIP Aye and I bet not many of the guilty parties would have said a word to his face? They were different times Racism was rife on the terraces it`s not like that now and that`s largely thanks to the likes of Cyrille and the other black players who came through in the 70s and 80s our own Tony Ford being one they won over the fans and raised the bar.

Endured the monkey chants let his goals do the talking and they were normally spectacular. Think he even earned a few England caps RIP one of football's pioneers.

This, and what Moosey said. The terrible abusive racism this guy must've endured, sickens me. True legend in the game. "You should do what you love while you can"
