Gone at just 59 - best centre forward around for number of years, would have got many more than 5 caps if at a more fashionable club.Just got on with the job despite all the sh*t flying around at that time, and did it so well.
RIP.

RIP.
Or if he was white, look at Steve Bull he managed several caps when playing for Wolves in the second tier. The institutionalised racism that has been extant in football can not be ignored, it's not so prevalent in Britain any more but look at the Italian, French, German and Turkish teams and the attitude of their supporters, one of the reasons I don't watch football much tbh.
Anyway RIP Cyrille, you were great.
