Former golf equipment, team-mates and followers have been fast to share heart-felt messages for a participant who captained Leeds United and loved spells with Leicester Metropolis, Middlesbrough, Hibernian and Dunfermline Athletic.
And there are calls from Bluebirds followers for a long-lasting tribute to Bamba, who the Welsh aspect described as a “membership legend” and “a hero to all of us”.
Warnock says the participant, who as soon as described him as a “father-figure”, wouldn’t need any fuss.
“Are you aware I’m unsure Sol would love something like that,” Warnock instructed BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
“Sol simply preferred to be himself and did not need any accolades or something like that, he was only a gentleman.
“I don’t assume any Bluebird fan wouldn’t be capable to shut their eyes and take into consideration that beaming smile, or one of many objectives he scored and I feel that is the tribute.
Sure, you are able to do one factor or one other, however I feel the Bluebirds followers will bear in mind him in their very own thoughts and love him as they did.”
