Cyrille Regis 1958 – 2018

Christian faith was the most important thing in the life of former England footballer Cyrille Regis, who died last month at the age of 59.

Cyrille was a legend of West Midlands football and best known as a centre forward for West Bromwich Albion and Coventry City. He was also renowned for his dignified stand in the fight against racism in football.

Converted to Christ

But having become a Christian in 1989, it was his faith in Jesus that shaped the second half of his life and he was a committed member of Renewal Christian Centre in Solihull.
