Very, very sad.

RIP Sol

So very sad, a Cardiff great, RIP Sol

This is just tragic.
I’m heartbroken.

What a man, I can’t think of many players that had such an impact on the fans in the timeframe that he was with us.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

God Bless you Sol.
Rest In Peace.

Very sad news. Sol made me smile :thumbup:

RIP Sol

So sad 😔

A total shock.

RIP Sol

Shocking news.

Had news of a few people passing away prematurely of late.

Makes me think I and others over 35 should get checked out more frequently.

RIP Sol B

horrendous news, superb ambassador to our club and its fans, just a very likeable guy who truly seemed to care, a rarity in today's game..

Just awful.

RIP Sol.

Terribly sad news. RIP Sol.

Dreadful news

RIP Sol

One of the good ones on and off the pitch

What is it about Cardiff City? Emiliano Sala, Peter Whittingham and now Sol Bamba all young men taken from us as in the prime of their lives in the past six/seven years.

An inspiration during his rime with City, the biggest character to play for the club in the 21st century I’d see.

Commiseration to his family who had already gone through so much in recent years.

RIP

How terribly sad
RIP Sol

Terribly sad news.

May your God bless you.

Really sad news. A great player for Cardiff City, a genuine hero on the pitch and a big character who seemed to be very well-liked by everyone he came into contact with. That was something which shone through in recent years during his regular appearances on Sky Sports.
