Timeline

1946

Colin Bell (26 February 1946 – 5 January 2021) was an English professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

1960

Bell, known for his thirteen-year spell at Manchester City, is regarded as one of the club's greatest-ever players, and was part of the Bell–Lee–Summerbee trio in the late 1960s and 1970s.

1965

In the 1965–66 season, Bell helped City finish first in the Second Division, earning the team promotion to the First Division.

Bell scored the only goal (via a header) in a 1–0 victory against Rotherham which ensured promotion.

1966

In 1966, he moved to Manchester City (who were managed by Joe Mercer) for £45,000.

When trying to sign him for Manchester City, assistant manager Malcolm Allison misled other clubs interested in Bell (including Leicester City ) by claiming that the player was "hopeless".

Allison's stratagem succeeded as Bell ultimately signed for City.

In the 1966–67 season, Bell was City's top scorer with 14 league goals in all competitions, and the team finished in 15th place in the First Division.

Bell scored a hat trick in a 3–1 victory against Stoke City in April that season.

1967

In the 1967–68 season, Bell helped City win their second League Championship (they had won their first in 1937).

Bell scored 14 league goals that season.

One of his goals came in the famous 4–1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, at Maine Road, which was dubbed the "Ballet on Ice" due to the snowy conditions in which the game was played.

Mike Summerbee, Tony Coleman and Neil Young scored City's other goals while Jimmy Greaves scored the goal for Spurs.

After the game, legendary centre forward Dixie Dean informed Allison that the City team which had beaten Spurs was "the most brilliant side I have ever seen".

In the penultimate game of the season, Bell scored twice in a 3–1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

In the game, Lee and Summerbee stretched the Spurs defence allowing Bell a clear run at a slowing Dave Mackay which overwhelmed the Scotsman.

In the final game of the season, City defeated Newcastle United 4–3, to clinch the title.

Bell assisted Lee with the "best pass of the afternoon" to score City's fourth goal.

1968

Bell made 48 appearances for the England national football team; he was an unused squad member at UEFA Euro 1968 and played in three matches at the 1970 FIFA World Cup.

During his playing career, he was nicknamed "The King of the Kippax" (after Maine Road's Kippax Street terraced stand renowned for its singing) and Nijinsky (after the famous racehorse, due to his renowned stamina).

In the 1968–69 season, Bell again scored 14 league goals as City finished 13th in the First Division.

Manchester City won the FA Cup that season with a 1–0 victory over Leicester City in the final thanks to a goal by Neil Young.

1969

In the 1969–70 season, Bell scored eleven league goals for City, who finished tenth in the league.
