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.

 

[hihosilva]

Terrible news. Always came across as a nice bloke. RIP
The first British £1 mil player.

 

[super_city_si]

Wow. RIP. Cracking player.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Shocking news,remember his debut at Stoke like it was yesterday, RIP

 

[mosssideblue]

Another taken too soon. RiP Trevor & condolences to his family & friends

 

[cheekybids]

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.

 

[OntarioBlue]

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.

 

[Any1aBlue]

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

 

[blueinsa]

Incredibly sad news.

RIP

 

[colbee59]

Loved that season, R.I.P. Trevor

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Very sad
I still remember that last minute winner v Wolves, Christmas 81

 

[Aba452]

RIP Trev.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Terrible news. A genuine World class player.

RIP.

 

[PragueBlue]

A player I really enjoyed watching.

RIP.

[tony adcock]

Sad one this - great player and always came across as a decent bloke

 

[uweuweuwe]

one of the things that got me hooked on football was my mum buying me the trevor francis football annual or something like that. read it everyday front to back for weeks. Thanks Trevor

 

[VOOMER]

A brilliant footballer, a real loss, RIP.

Dad always raved on about him. Watched enough on VHS etc to know why. Met him at Maine Road and CoMStad a few times. Sound footy spirit. Rest in peace
