Been asked to post this, might be of interest for any Blues at a loose end on Saturday!


Saturday 7 September | SIMPLY BOOKS, Bramhall.

Join City legend, Mike Summerbee, OBE and journalist, Bill Bradshaw in conversation about the incredible life of Franny Lee. Afterwards, Mike and Bill will be taking your questions and chatting about some of their favourite moments from Franny's career. Join them for one day only:

This is Franny – uncensored. Find out how:

- Franny finally secured a transfer from Bolton to become the final piece of Joe Mercer's jigsaw at Manchester City
- The inside story of the nightmare of the 1970 Mexico World when champions England lost to West Germany
- How Lee suffered a breakdown after he was betrayed by his business partner while at the peak of his playing career
- His City return as chairman was not a success on the pitch – but how he piloted the move to the Etihad Stadium before dubious tactics among his fellow-directors led to his City departure

Get ready to hear the tell-all story of Franny's life!

I’m going. As of yesterday afternoon they still had a “few” tickets left. I understand that Buzzer asked for the audience to be kept to a low number so he could talk to everyone. He’s a class act.

The ghostwriter’s name features a lot more prominently on the cover than is usually the case for an autobiography. I suspect that Mr Bradshaw has completed a fair chunk of it after Franny was no longer around - he presumably had the raw material to do that from his interviews with FL and would definitely have had the family’s permission if that was the case.
 
Convenient it's being held in a nice, quiet place like Bramall. Not that I'm cynical and I appreciate he was a wonderful player for City but the meaningful questions won't come thick and fast will they? It will just be one old bloke talking about his mate to the gentle 'cheshire set'. Just like with Swales the utter fuck ups made will be swept aside with no explanation. Those of us who were at Stoke City for example at the climax will never get closure or even any sort of answers to a hundred questions.
