Forever woven into the fabric of MCFC.

'Cups for cock-ups'.

Oh yes. Where are those young lads now?

I was at the other end.

Filling up here listening to the radio about him! Like when the king died!

My favourite player when I was a nipper. Thought he should have played more in 1970 world cup. RIP.

Who else was outside main road when he took over the club.

Is it true he bought the club in the Swan pub in Mere ?

Just seen this 30 mins ago in the boozer...gutted,my childhood hero.

I won't comment on his takeover/fires at the right time but, he was a hero to me.

My favourite player when I was a nipper. Thought he should have played more in 1970 world cup. RIP.

I thought he started every game for us in that WC? We only played 4 times.

Thanks for everything, Franny.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

An absolute legend of the club. I was too young to remember him playing for us but all those who saw him said he was a brilliant player.

I still have my "Forward With Franny" badge at my parents house and remember that excitement when he took over.

RIP Franny, you legend

 

[HibbertStreetKid]

A playing legend for the boys in blue R.I.P. Francis

 

[Vienna_70]

And I think that League Cup Final was his greatest performance. Franny was a legend who led City through a glorious era along with Colin Bell. RIP Franny

I think that’s widely acknowledged, Bobby.
