Former England and Manchester City midfielder Colin Bell has died at the age of 74 after a short illness.

Bell made 492 appearances for City over a 13-year spell with the club, winning the First Division title, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup and scoring 152 goals during his time in Manchester.
He also scored nine goals in 48 games for England and was part of the 1970 World Cup squad.
Bell was at the heart of City’s successful side of the late 1960s and 70s. He helped City secure promotion to the top flight in 1966 and was one of their stand-out players as they edged out Manchester United to win the First Division title two years later.

FA Cup success followed in 1969 as well as two more trophies in 1970 – the League Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup. Bell was also the club’s top scorer three times.

Known as Colin The King, in 2004 City fans voted to name a stand inside the Etihad Stadium after him and his name is still sung regularly at matches.
