Francis Lee RIP

[Bill Walker]

How did the City fans react when Franny scored that goal against us for Derby?

Sick as chips. Nobody wanted Franny to leave, another cock up...I blame fucking Swales x10.

Was there a song for franny?, would be nice to give it a rendition after the minutes silence i assume we will have at the Brighton game. The only one I ever heard my old man sing was ," hi ho ,hi ho we're of to Mexico, with bell and Lee and Summerbee " ,

Pardoe, Pardoe Pardoe Pardoe;)

Met him outside Maine Road many years ago, and he signed my little autograph book. I was about 10. A thoroughly nice man I recall.

RIP.

Tommy Booth said Franny would have Norman, on and off the field. :)

I took part in Swales(RIP) out to get Franny(RIP) in demonstrations.

That's not me.

Was simply just. Frannnncisss Leeeeee, Frannnncisss Leeeeee

It was. Forgot that one. Same tune as Tooonnny Book occasionally. Individual player songs were still in their infancy pre Rodney Marsh I would say. Alan , Alan, Alan Oakes was quite popular after a long range rocket , m. I.. c..k Mick Doyle, Tony Tony Coleman oooh ooohh. Colin and Buzzers songs, can't think of many others not dozens like today.

Quick diversion from the question, also remembered Oooh oh Georgie Heslop na na na na na na nah. The old Handel or Mozart tune, was a good one. Apologies for drifting thought I'd mention.
