Francis Lee RIP

Great day by the pool in Majorca suddenly had a downer put on it by this very sad news.

A City great and legend and thoughts are with his family and friends.

RIP Franny
 
He will be battling with Norman hunter up there
I just phoned my brother to tell him about Franny. I asked which video will the BBC show first, will it be the altercation with George Best where Franny did that dive, my brother said about the scrap with Hunter, then I said a pound to a penny they will put up the Derby County goal v City. Just looked at the BBC and guess what they have gone with?
 
Very sad news, a great player who always gave it his all. That performance in a ploughed field in the 1970 League Cup Final was outstanding, the first time I’d actually been present to see us lift silverware

Derby obviously, the one thing about that goal is Joe Corrigan's reaction, he's absolutely fuming that Lee scored against him. Funny moment and a quite brilliant strike.
