Died of a heart attack at 59. Only the third black player to be selected to play for England in the seventies. Part of the legendary Three Degrees with Laurie Cunningham and Brendan Batson.

Big Cyril was the first black player i can remember as a kid in the 70's and he was a great centre forward, only 59 as well, very sad. Glad to see all the tributes to him as he was a trailblazer for black footballers and the abuse he and other black players suffered was horrendous.
RIP to Delores as well, i was a big fan of the Cranberries when they first came out and loved their debut album. I saw them live at the Manchester Academy 2 in 93/94 i think and she was amazing, her voice was fantastic. Just as they were starting to get back together and tour and record as well, very sad.
