Rest in Peace Cyrille Regis.

It has been announced this morning that club legend Cyrille Regis has passed away suddenly due to a heart attack last night at the age of 59. I'm absolutely shocked and gutted Rip Cyrille.

Massive shock. Saw him in the fanzone this year and tried to pluck up the courage to talk to him, but felt nervous as he is/was a genuine hero of mine.

RIP Cyrille - fantastic player and a lovely man.
MAGA!

I can't believe this.

I grew up watching this man and he and Derek Statham were my first two heroes. Can't believe he's gone.

Legend and a lovely bloke.

R.I.P. Cyrille.

I wasn’t around when he was playing but I was only saying to my dad a few weeks back that I love watching old clips of him as he’s the perfect kind of striker, so exciting to watch and as everyone says; seemed a true gent. The word is used too much but HE IS West Brom legend.

Thanks for providing my dad with some memorable moments that I’ve been able to look back on with him.

Completely shocked by this news. I was lucky enough to be around for his time at Albion.

Wonderful footballer, wonderful man. Sleep well Cyrille.

We will never see the like again.

Cyrille you are a true footballing trailblazer.
You are a shooting star that went out too early.
It was an honour to see you play for the Albion.
We love and miss you.
RIP to the gentle giant,a true star and a legend who will never be forgotten at the Hawthornes.
