I see in the paper and heard on radio sheffield that Cec Coldwell has died. I met him once in a paper shop he owned in Manchester and had a great conversation with him about football. He did a lot for United as player, coach and filling in as manager a couple of occassions.
Condolences to his family and friends
Rest in peace Cec
thanks for the memories
god bless , he did the blades proud .

i met him in scotland at a pre season friendly against raith rovers. came over for a chat in the club bar after the game. made 4 young blades day.
not many at my age (48 ) can say they saw him play but i saw him come on as a sub in a benefit game at truro city 1981.
top man top blade rip.

RIP Cec
I didn't know much about him, but heard him mentioned a lot by blades when I was younger. Always sad when a servant to Sheffield football passes on, doesn't matter which side of the city they represented.

I saw his sister yesterday and she passed on the sad news. He was a great ambasador for United and died far too young.
