Manchester City great Colin Bell has appealed for fans to stop 'degrading' the club by singing songs about the Munich air crash.
City's 1-0 win at Blackburn on Monday was marred by chants about the 1958 tragedy which befell close rivals Manchester United and claimed the lives of 23 people.
The club, who have previously taken out banning orders against supporters caught on camera making aeroplane gestures, are holding a series of behind-the-scenes meetings to determine an appropriate response to Monday night's repeated chants.
But Bell believes it is time for the fans themselves to realise enough is enough.
'They are not true City supporters. Football is a sport at the end of the day and they are chanting about people's lives,' he told the Manchester Evening News.
'It's gone on long enough and I appeal to them to stop. It's sad and I think it is truly out of order.
'I played for City and now consider myself a supporter of the club and these chants are degrading the club. I don't like it one little bit.'
