Francis Lee RIP

[supercity88]

I notice the BBC has decided its video tribute to Franny should be the goal he scored for Derby against us!

 

[Stockport mackem]

RIP Francis Lee, according to my lifelong blue mate, one of the best ever to play for City...

Thought or with your family,.and indeed all blues on this sad day....

 

[jimharri]

Not many City players have scored a hat trick against "The World's Greatest Club"™ at "The Theatre of Dreams"™.

 

[Salford_Blue]

Such sad news.

Just before my time, but will go down an all-time City great from that 70's team.

He was at Primary School with my mum and he played for my local cricket team (back when footballers were allowed to, pre-season).

 

[Nellies left peg]

Such an iconic part of City history.
RIP Franny

And should have been for England too. That 1970 team was more than good enough to win the World Cup

 

[Blue Maverick]

RIP Franny shame that the supposed trinity statue they are doing at the stadium has not been unveiled before he died

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

A proper legend. We need to create a statue outside the ground for him at minimum

 

[Vienna_70]

(switch the sound off its rubbish) Good selection of goals and skill

He could certainly take a penalty.

I remember him once being asked about his approach to taking them. He said that he never changed his mind about where he was going to put it.

Francis Lee 1944 to 2023 joins the Great Game In The Sky

He won all the domestic trophies one after the other with City and The Cup Winners Cup

He then watched City win all the domestic trophies in one season and go on to win the European Cup.

Sleep well Franny
