Jimmy Hill and Geoff Hurst talking about Lee and Bell

[Neville Kneville]

With modern training methods/fitness, Francis Lee would be absolutely one of the best players around, a miles better, faster, harder, version of Rooney. Nobody in City's current squad would be such a good partner for Aguero. He could hit the ball harder then than anyone can now, so god knows what he'd make of the modern day footballs.

Just to add. Look at the pitches those blokes played on, & the pitches they play on now, yet look at how many of our players have been out injured recently.

Slight digress but after I watched Big Mall talking with Mullery I saw this clip,I was at the game as a 14 year old,missed the first goal as not in the ground despite living in Sheffield at the time.Never seen Booths goal until now.

Always remember after the game our fans singing as we walked out "City,stick together,City,stick together" Scary days.

Agree with all of that. And let's not forget, they don't get tackled these days. He'd have ripped up the league if he was playing now.

By heck, imagine having them in this current side.

You seriously think Francis Lee would get in this current side?
