Never quite had him down as management material. Loved watching him though, pure entertainment! Smashing up defenders but doing so with a gigantic grin.

I went to watch a Port Talbot at Bala about 5 years ago and the Port Talbot "ultras" had a virtual life size flag of Cortez Belle along with flares and firecrackers. A living legend in those parts it seems....

I remember him skying a penalty over the top of Southend's two-tiered stand one Friday night.

Just checked Wikipedia and he was sent off 3 times in 20- he would be a total liability if he was here now

I was at all 3 games he got sent off in, but can't remember the other 2. The thing about the Northampton game was that it was a battling, backs-to-the-wall performance which we seem to have started doing now.

It's hard trying to remember his sending offs because there should have been more than just the three. Played like a fan would. Superb to watch him trying to kill goal keepers and centre forwards.

Do wonder how things would have panned out with Belle if Wright had stayed at the club after signing him, given he had the same plan with him as he had done successfully with Danny Collins of converting him from a forward to a centre back. I remember Wright played Belle at the back in pre-season that year.

Cortez was found guilty of robbing £15k from a school he was working at in Cardiff last year, so probably a good thing he no longer plays for us!
