In the working-class heart of Hesleden, County Durham, a footballing legend took his first breath on the 26th of February, 1946. The name Colin Bell, affectionately known as "The King of the Kippax", would soon echo through the annals of Manchester City's glorious history. Our Vertical Band Poster immortalises this quintessential hero in a defining moment, paying homage to his unique journey and remarkable achievements at his beloved club.
Colin Bell’s playing style was nothing short of poetic—graceful yet forceful, ingenious yet relentless. With every touch of the ball, he orchestrated matches, commanding the pitch with the elegance of a ballet dancer and the tenacity of a warrior. His pace and stamina knew no bounds; he was the heartbeat of every game, the indomitable spirit in City’s midfield.
Imagine the roars at Maine Road as Bell unleashed his mastery in pivotal matches—his unforgettable goal in the 1976 League Cup Final against Newcastle that sealed the victory, or his instrumental role in the 1968 First Division title win. Every leap and bound, every strategic pass and exhilarating dribble, are etched into Manchester City's vibrant tapestry. His contributions weren’t just statistics; they were stories, legends that breathed life into the hearts of fans.
“Capturing his image through a classic pose, this vintage minimalist, retro style illustration uses only light and shade to draw out the personality, identity, soul, emotions and determined gaze of a true winner. It immortalises him in a moment in time and takes you back to that moment in time. It tells their story and honours their memory. It immortalises them at the peak of their powers.”
This distinctive and unique graphic vertical band design incorporates colours synonymous with Manchester City – the sky blue and white, invoking memories of sunlit afternoons on the terraces or suspenseful nights under floodlights.
Colin Bell’s legacy continues to inspire, and this poster, with its elegant typography and exquisite minimalism, serves as a beacon of his indomitable spirit. In the subtle interplay of light and shadow, we capture the soul, the very essence of a footballing genius whose presence on the pitch remains timeless.
Celebrate the enduring legacy of Colin Bell with this stunning tribute—a must-have for fans and collectors alike. Honour "The King of the Kippax" and keep his memory alive, forever at the peak of his powers.
Frames

Why choose our frames?
- Ready-to-Hang: Each frame arrives with a hanging kit, so you can display your artwork instantly.

- Protective & Durable: Combined with our semi-gloss silk prints, frames help preserve colour vibrancy and protect against light and moisture damage.

Every framed print is pre-assembled, then carefully packaged with protective corners, wrap, and strong box edging. For extra sturdiness, I-beams are used, and multi-item orders (up to 3 frames per package) are securely combined.
