West Brom planning Cyrille Regis tribute
West Brom are preparing tributes to legend Cyrille Regis.
The club said in a statement details will be released shortly.
Chairman John Williams paid tribute to the footballing icon, adding: “This is terribly shocking and upsetting news and our thoughts and condolences are with Cyrille’s family.
“We also know Cyrille’s passing will be felt deeply among all our supporters for whom he was the ultimate hero - a wonderful, exciting centre-forward who remained in close contact with the club beyond his playing days.
“Everyone will have their precious memories of him as a family man, as a crusader against bigotry - which can never be under-estimated – and as a man who threw considerable energy into a series of worthy causes.
“But for me, I will never forget Cyrille the footballer – a wonderful, wonderful player who had everything and who defenders of the time would have hated facing.
“He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Cyrille.”
