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

One of the holy trinity of City players that enabled long suffering blues to have parity with the vermin.

Bad news. Very much part of the intricate fabric of the history of MCFC.

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?

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.
