His injury record with us was pretty shocking.

Yup.
Could kick a ball though.
I remember watching a warm up and he took a shot at Corrigan.
I'd not seen a ball hit that hard.
The stare big Joe gave him, I thought he was going to go and lamp him.
Francis was also fast as a whippet

Agreed. He was (along with Anelka) the best forward I saw at the club before the takeover - and those two were some distance ahead of the next best. Incredible that players of that quality around that time (Wilkins, Souness) and even a decade later (Platt, Walker) felt they needed to go to Italy to ply their wares. Another example of how the game has changed beyond recognition.

Wouldn’t have fancied Francis in a scrap against Big Joe, though!

Ha Ha no.

Not great quality

Thanks. I'm sure there is photo (MUEN perhaps) from behind the goal that shows him completely off the ground or maybe it was a different game.

He carried Brum on his back from the age of 16. Overplaying a teen just stores up trouble for later.

Maybe a mod can help

It's notable that Swales has himself front and centre and the actual team are almost an afterthought out of shot. Pretty much sums up his tenure as Chairman.

Brilliant, was just about to search for that beauty.
