Francis Lee RIP

[citymad]

He was part of that wonderful City team when I got "hooked". A legend and a hero. RIP Lee won pen and my condolences to all the family and close friends.

Only Summerbee and Coleman left now of that 67/68 title-winning forward line.

Tony Book.

Really sad news, a few of us mentioned on the Colin Bell thread that he didn’t look well at all, so used to seeing him with his barrel chest.

I live in Franny’s town of birth atm (and it’s probably just my Blue bias here) but always makes me a bit sad that I don’t see anything here regarding Franny like I do Robert Shaw, maybe I’ll have to change that.

R.I.P Franny.

Sorry Bob didn't see the forward line bit.

E for B and Franny Lee as me old gran would always say. Bless her. My all time fav player. Best goal has to be for Derby at Maine rd.
R.I.P Francis.

Last time I saw Franny in the flesh was that match and he showed City what we were missing with that goal.

I just about remember his two seasons with us. A real City legend,

He played from 67 to75 for City.

Great servant of the club. We all know his time as chairman didn't go to plan, but I'm certain he had the club's best interests at heart. Him and Norman Hunter can get together for a drink in the great wherever now!

 

[eastmanc]

Interesting... Very Interesting..!!

Look at his face, just look at his face.
