BBC paying tribute to the late Trevor Francis on their web page:
"Fond tributes were paid to Francis by his former clubs, team-mates and colleagues from within the media"

All very nice but guess which of his former clubs the BBC chose not to quote amongst all the others ?

I was listening to BBC World Service, they listed clubs he had played for, Birmingham, Forest, Sampdoria and Atalanta. No mention of the current treble winners though. Also no mention of Rangers or Sheffield Wednesday.

Maybe not.
But earlier on Talksport did replay The interview of Trevor in their 'My sporting life' series and Trevor himself had nothing but praise for the club and fans.

Earlier on in the interview mind Danny Kelly talked about City with total disdain and ignorance as to who we are or were at the time.
Basically saying Trevor joined a club with no history lol, no change there then , pricks.
 
If he puts his principles/religion ahead of enjoying the football with his kids and grandkids, that’s his decision. I suspect money and his position in the media are also linked to this, but that’s just my speculation. But I feel he will ultimately lose out and eventually regret it. It’ll be too late by then of course.

He doesn’t know how lucky he is to have kids and grandkids to enjoy City with. If he were my brother/mate, he’d get a talking to.

He sounds like he has problems by wanting to live in the passed so much. I started a thread about the old days lol but bloody hell give this City any day of the week.
His book ' how man utd ruin my life', didnt ruin my life it made me. It gave me an even deeper love of my club and my birthday place. It gave me the sence of gallows humour which I love, the bananas, self mocking songs. The pride of wearing my City even in the 3 division.

Now I wear my City gear as a badge of honour as a FOC. It says been to the 3rd division and now top of the world. What a journey.

I havent read his book. I dont plan to.

I dont see how a so called fan wouldnt watch the CL, my dear old mum and dad would have loved to still be here to watch this City.
The work our owner has put into their City.

Each to their own but he doesnt sound like a die hard fan to me

Bringing my kids has given me a new lease of life supporting city
Not that i didnt absolutely enjoy it anyway but the feeling i got when my 10 year old daughter turned and grabbed me and hugged me when KDB scored early on v arsenal was priceless. Cant buy those feelings.
So yeah if hes missing then tough titties
