Colin Bell was a class act in an exciting Man City team. The type of player who glided over the pitch.

Which was why as a kid I was confused that his nickname was a racehorse. But I then found out the racehorse was named after a ballet dancer.

Yep. City fans called him Nijinsky. I knew he was good but didn't realise he was such a hero at City, with a stand named after him, too. Great player.

Michael Apted, Film maker and director dies aged 79. He made those documentaries from 1964 following a group of children from different lives and backgrounds, first called "7 up" and went back every 7 years to see how their lives have changed/developed. RIP.
