THE footballing world has been paying tribute to former Shakers, Manchester City and England midfielder Colin Bell who died this week at the age of 74. Bell made 492 appearances and scored 152 goals for City during his 13-year stay, but it was at Bury where he first made an impression as a footballer making 82 league appearances and scoring 25 goals before his move to City in 1966 for £45,000. Despite his phenomenal success at Maine Road, Bell never forgot the club where his career started. Bell was a youth player with Horden Colliery Welfare before joining Second Division Bury in 1963 as a teenager. He quickly established himself at Gigg Lane, becoming the Shakers’ skipper, and in later years he spoke with sadness about the club’s demise.
