Francis Lee

[worsleyweb]

5 foot nothing Franny Lee goes toe to toe with Norman Hunter - got a few decent ones in!!

Brilliant - get in Franny! Not 100% sure what he is like as a bloke - maybe could be perceived as a bit arrogant maybe and he had a well publicised fall out with Colin Bell but he is a City legend and not nice to see that he is not looking well. Time waits for no man! Hope he has many more years in him watching the Blues.

Why not doesn't seem to hamper Fernandes.

If St Bruno wore a different crested shirt he'd get eff all!

If I may be so rude Bollox. :-)

Not a chance Kinky was good enough for the top table of football. Technically very good on the ball, but not a team player. His career shows that too.

The modern player that Franny is closest to in style is Tevez, in my view. Very clever and skilled with his feet, but also a bull-like player who could steam through opposition penalty areas. Healthy ego, too. No doubts about his own ability.
And just for fun, because it is always worth re-posting as the iconic photo of him:



I've sometimes thought that the appropriate headline for this is: "Winning the league gives Franny a stiffy.” I know how you feel, sir — I do know it.

Good post, granny lee ( lee one pen) was a scoring machine for the city side which won the league and cups during sixties and seventies.anything which happened relating to administration is nothing to do wi5h what a fabulous player he was, skill, power , heart and soul, Franny lee was a legend too.

What is not known though is would he have been more of a team player if coached better at youth level which is better organised in this day and age. A player with natural skill but poor team attitude can have that side addressed to some degree. A straight swap in as-is, I probably agree.

Mate you are wasting your time they like to turn a thread into basically slagging Kinkladze off

Just watched these highlights. I think Franny would get in Pep's team, his passing and crossing is superb

This was my first ever game. And so the first City player I saw score a goal was Franny Lee, from the penalty spot!

Me dad's favourite player and I'm named after him tho if my hazy memory serves me well the first time I saw him live was when he scored the winner against us for Derby in late 74, pretty sure that was also my first game watching City live I'd have been 5 years old.

Me too. He was the top card in my first ever packet of cards. I was six. I REALLY liked his hair, so I became a City fan.

Me too, I think he is 77 so he is bound to look old and lose weight....hope he is well, true blue
