      I’m absolutely fucking gutted about this. The outpouring of comments tells you everything about the man Sol Bamba was.

      Was class when he played for us. What a shame, bit of a legend. Will never forget that penalty against man united

      Man that is so sad. What a character and player he was for us.

      One of the all time fan favourites at Cardiff, and an important part of our promotion season to the PL.

      RIP Sol 💙

      Gutted.

      Top top top fella, was a real presence around the club and at the back.

      Hope he’s heading them in at the front post wherever he is.

      Absolutely heartbroken grew up watching him and gave many of us so many memories we will never forget for decades to come. I hope for Cardiff v Leeds he gets a smashing tribute so loved by Leeds, Middlesbrough and Cardiff fans was a lovely man everywhere he went will be missed by many.

      Absolutely gutting. Greatest penalty in shootout in one of my favourite away days ever. Was poetically on World Cancer Day as well

      Genuinely lovely bloke

      Absolutely gutted. Will always remember him smashing a pen in at Old Trafford

      He was such a great character to have in the squad

      What a man

      Fuck, so gutting. Will always be loved in Leicester, and all the other clubs he represented too.

      Don’t think there was a single club he played for where he was ever disliked.

      Heartbreaking to read. 39 is no age to die at. May an all time EFL legend find peace, and thoughts are with his family and friends.

      Good god this is awful news. I know how highly regarded he was at Cardiff and how much this will hurt everyone at the club.

      RIP Sol. Cardiff city legend.

      The man was a legend. Loved here at Cardiff and by all accounts loved at boro and Leeds too. Will always remember the story about how he accidentally broke a guys glasses while celebrating with the fans and then him meeting up with the fan the following day to buy him new ones. Class act on and off the pitch. My condolences go out to his friends and family. Rest in peace, Sol, you legend.

      An absolute titan. Terrible loss. Glad he got his season in the Prem to show his quality. It’s clear how well he was thought of as a man, not just as a footballer.

      Horrible news. He was always someone with a smile on his face and you couldn’t help but like him even if he didn’t play for you. RIP Sol
