MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Former England and Manchester City midfielder Colin Bell, widely regarded as one of the club's finest players, has died aged 74 following a short illness, the Premier League side said on Tuesday.

A classy but also tireless midfield player, Bell was part of City's 1967-68 First Division title-winning team and scored 152 goals in 492 games for the Manchester club between 1966 and 1979.
