Bless him… RIP Sol. xxx

The walk to Anfield is great with so many murals and tributes to the club and players.

I’m a fan of murals in general. Brightens up dull spaces.

That's on Penarth Road, just before the junction with Clive Street/North Clive Street, heading out of town.

Applause for Sol in the 14th minute tomorrow

Nice that.

Fair play, that's fantastic. Is there a Whitts one?

From where I was sat, which in fairness was the other side of the pitch, they looked like they all sat there and ignored what was happening.

I thought they were good today. They got turned up in numbers, got behind the team, supported the Sol Tribute and it was good talking to them after the game on the way back to Central Station.

BB-M

"My wife is really close to [Sol Bamba's widow] Chloe, so we had a real awareness of what they went through. Today's appreciation of Sol from the whole stadium will give his family a lot of understanding of how important he is to so many people here.

"I think it becomes more significant than a few laps on the pitch and it's very important that we acknowledge him.

"We have their shirts up in the dressing room every single game, so we see Sol and we see Peter Whittingham, and it's pretty significant. You get a feeling that they will always be with you in every single game, it's nice. Our kit man, David Bush... was very close to both.

"I lost my own friend to cancer recently," he added. "It just makes you realise how fragile life is and how we obsess about everything in football but really, it's a small part of people's lives.

"It was just important for his family and our supporters to have that feeling of being connected, it will give a lot of people a lot of comfort in what is going to be a difficult time, bearing in mind how close it is to the anniversary [of his death]."

That’s great!

It would be nice if Chloe could become an ambassador for the club.
I followed her on Twitter and she seemed Super Cool.

It’s also great that a player who played for numerous clubs had such a great bond with Cardiff.

He just seemed to be a special, inspirational Man.

His debut (and Warnock’s) must be one of the best I’ve ever seen, or will ever see. I remember him being everywhere against Bristol, cutting out passes, blocking shots and crunching tackles. Then to top it off scoring infront of the Canton. He definitely made his mark on the Cardiff faithful from day one.

And in general he just sounded like a lovely man on and off the pitch.

Stunning. Great work.

Epic!

Looks amazing, fair play.

It is brilliant. Do we know who the artist is? Who funds these? Who organises them? Was the club involved? Can we have more please?

That's really nice Mike, the manager has made a very positive start at the club and long may it continue.

I agree, but unless we know the who, why and how, it will be difficult to support.

Raising the funds for them should be straightforward.

Are these permanent or are they removed after a set time? Anyone know?

Does anyone know where we would start, who to contact? The artist may be a good starting point; s/he would presumably have some intel on how to get these authorised and done. It would be great to get more of these around the city.

As you say PB, I don't think that funding would be too much of an issue.

Isn't it being done by Unify, the same people that did the ones in this link.
