Trevor Francis RIP

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

This is fucking awful news. My first real City hero when I was 8. I cried when we sold him. Absolutely gutted :( RIP Tricky.

The first British £1 mil player.

Trevor was my hero, he was a superstar & I had his posters all over my tiny box room. RIP

 

[Danny Hoekman]

A shocker! RIP. That was a great one season. People turned up just to see him! Think we had to sell him for financial reasons.

To buy a new roof.

This has been doing the rounds now for well over an hour, gathered some pace online but no news source has reported it yet. It has come from Viv Anderson on Instagram and spread... seems a bit odd

It’s now being reported on all the main media outlets.

Very sad news, he was a great player.

OMG. That’s shocking news. He made the game fun by being a maverick player. First £1m ? (not sure, may have been shilton?).
if I remember rightly, his good friend (and lookie likie) jasper carrott said he was so quick he had windscreen wipers on his goggles when playing to keep the flies out of his eyes - something like that? RIP

Incredibly sad news.

RIP
