RIP mr lee,
I’m too young to have seen you play but I was around for your takeover. I distinctly remember the raft of balloons that were deployed from the center circle at Maine road on the day you took over. And the new kippax stand you had built (I wasn’t a fan) I liked the old one better.
God bless you sir.

I doubt it. He fell out with Lee over his sacking as a youth coach. I'd love to be wrong on this, but sadly I don't think they ever spoke again.
Colin Bell: I'll never forgive Francis
IN the final part of our Colin Bell serialisation, the M.E.N's Paul Hince recall's the City Legend's bust-up with Francis Lee.

That is a shame, thanks for the link PB, what a Journo Paul Hince was.
That goal against City was a great goal with iconic commentary.Franny celebrated it brilliantly as well.None of the no celebrating against your former team in those days as well.
I believe Derby won the league that season as well with Dave Mackay as the manager.
RIP Franny.

Great player R.I.P. Franny. One of my favourites as a player.
