RIP Franny.

RIP Franny Lee. He will always be a club legend. I wasn't born when he was playing but I did hear about the famous Norman Hunter fight.

He's been our player and owner and always gave his best for the club.

One of the greats, and one of the reasons I started supporting city when I was introduced to football (Long story!)
Happy to tell the ref what had happened!


RIP

Really sad news. RIP Franny..x x

 

[Vienna_70]

Slightly before my time but remember hearing and reading lots about Franny and that team growing up.

RIP

Dr Jon seems to know Frannie's family well, so maybe there was a thawing in the relationship between him and Colin.

Saw him play many times as a kid with my grandad and dad, a real terrier and striker.
RIP Franny

Too young to see him at games. My dad is gutted. He bought the Lee Bell Sumerbee DVD. Some funny moments

Norman Hunter
Ball in the arse of Ref

He also said that a lot of city fans cheered when he scored against us. "Look at his face"

RIP

Loves the story about 1 ref that was pissing him off:

Franny: "What would you do if I called you a ****?"

Ref: " I'd book you"

Franny: " What would you do if I thought you were a ****?"

Ref: " You can think what you want"

Franny: "OK, I think your a ****" and walked away.

Haha.

Sad day, rest in peace Franny

Of course BBC NW decides to use a clip of him scoring against City on their coverage. Cunts!!
