oggybwfc Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Possibly my favourite non Wanderer, I remember how he tormented and bullied Paul Jones in one of the best perfomances of a Centre forward ever. R I P gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 RIP. Apart from seeing him regularly on MOTD. Pretty sure one of the only times I recall actually seeing him was in a midweek league cup tie vs Coventry. Went to both legs, pretty sure he scored a screamer at Burnden. But could be wrong.

mickbrown Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Blimey - all my early memories of football are from the late 70s/early 80s. He was some player that lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, think he did. Also remember he gave Stubbs a bit of a pasting. Nothing nasty just far too strong for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 RIP Cyrille. Did a lot for the game. I remember him from Coventry cup win and era but it seems he had left a powerful presence from his time at WBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted January 15, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2018 Very few around like him now...he was physical but not dirty & he was a very good player. That said he would probably get sent off every week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we bought Cantello not long after. I went to this game as ours was cancelled earlier in the day for frost and my dad blagged tickets from his mate (who's cousin was West Brom's Chairman). I tell you who else must've blagged tickets was Jim McDonagh and Neil McNab who sat near us. I was 12 and a bit starstruck and even though the game was fantasic I spent more time looking at Jim and Neil than i did at the game. I remember the performance of Big Cyrille and Cunningham but also the saves that Bailey made as I was a keen goalie. After the game my dad struck up conversation with Jim and I could hardly breathe. He asked him if he would have saved those couple of Hollywood saves that Bailey made and Jim said "Aye, and I could've saved the other five too!
