Cyrille was very clear about how he wanted this day to be and the songs, lively atmosphere and personal tributes are a reflection of his wishes, along with those of his wife Julia and his children Robert and Michelle.
Former Coventry City player and manage John Sillett will be amongst those paying tribute along with Brendon Batson, Graham Daniels from Christians in Sport, football agent and Chairman of Stellar Group Jonathan Barnett, John Sillett, manager of the Coventry City team with whom Cyrille won the FA Cup, and John Homer, Chairman of WBA’s Official Supporter Club.
Family tributes will be provided by Cyrille’s two children Robert and Michelle, his nephew and former Albion striker Jason Roberts, and his brother and ex-professional footballer Dave Regis.
The eulogy will be read by Cyrille’s widow, Julia.
