Sol Bamba has passed away

RIP Sol. Still stunned about the news this morning.

Awful news to hear. Young family too. RIP big man

At such a young age to. R.I.P. Sol.

Totally shocked!
RIP Sol.

Hated him with a passion before he signed for us given his dirty Leeds background, but how wrong was I! Absolute legend, always did he all for the shirt. Moments like when he took that guy shopping for new glasses just prove what a great man he was.
RIP Sol

Bloody hell, this is awful.

Oh man. This just seems so unfair.

He is so well loved and respected around the game - one hell of a legacy.

My heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Sol.

What a player for us. So determined and strong in defence and amazing from corners.

Some unforgettable moments

Rest in peace Sol. Reading the many tributes from those that knew him along with the wonderful words from his wife, he was very much the best of us.

Unbelievably sad news. RIP Sol

Very sad news R.I.P Sol

Very sad news. Especially as he had had the all clear.

Sol Bamba's wife Chloe has paid a heartbreaking tribute to him and said the Cardiff City legend lost his fight with cancer.

I am absolutely gutted.

He's up there with my favourite City players ever, and that isn't just hyperbole after learning of his death.

The video of him making Welshcakes with Warnock still pops up on my YouTube feed every so often and I always watch it.

RIP Bluebird.

“ and so they gave it to Sol Bamba “ RIP big man!!

A giant on the pitch and a gent off it.

Very sad news.

As you say, heartbreaking to read.

Very sad news, Bamba is 9 days older than me, really hits home how you have to live life to its max.

Brilliant player for us, came at a time when we needed him the most.

RIP Sol.

Exactly. RIP Sol.

RIP Sol. So so sad to pass at that age. A legend on the pitch and by all accounts a legend off it too.
Condolences to his family.

Deeply sad. A great man on and off the pitch. RIP Sol

Rest in Peace legend

That’s terrible news, I was talking about him yesterday with my son, and how much of an impact he had on the City. RIP Sol, taken way too young!

Desperately sad news.
I'd heard about this last night and sobered up straight away.
The guy was so popular with so many people.
Condolences to his family.

The Leeds game in a few weeks is going to be very emotional.

RIP Sol, City legend 🙏
