EDITORS COMMENTS
In a poignant moment during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium on January 20, 2018, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger paid tribute to the late Cyril Regis. The former West Bromwich Albion and England striker, who passed away on January 14, 2018, at the age of 59, left an indelible mark on English football with his skill, determination, and charisma. As a sign of respect, both teams and fans observed a minutes applause before the kick-off, with Arsenal players wearing black armbands as a mark of mourning. Arsene Wenger, who managed Regis at Monaco in the late 1980s, took a moment to reflect on the life and legacy of the footballing icon. He stood at the center circle, head bowed, as the crowd paid their respects. The minutes applause was a fitting tribute to a man who broke down barriers and inspired generations of footballers. Regis was the first black player to represent England at the senior level, and his career paved the way for other black players to follow in his footsteps. He scored over 200 goals in a career that spanned over 15 years, and his impact on the game extended far beyond the pitch. Arsenal and Crystal Palace players came together to pay their respects, with many embracing each other in a show of unity and solidarity. Fans of both teams joined in the applause, creating a powerful and moving scene that encapsulated the spirit of football and the power of sport to bring people together. Arsene Wenger's tribute to Cyril Regis was a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering those who have made a significant impact on the game, and inspiring future generations to continue breaking down barriers and pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the pitch.
