Micky Francis ... Anyone remember him/know him ??

Daft Donald was a tall gangly black cockney lad that moved up to Middleton in about 1978/79.
He was barking mad ,not hard.
Donald Francis (Mickey and Chris’ older brother) was a different ball game.

Yeah... big photo of him puffing on a cigar, pulling the 2 finger victory sign, just like Churchill....and the headline “I’M GONNA KILL A KRAUT”
Not quite.... he was going to stab the Russian keeper.
It was the front of The Star. The journo bought him a brandy or other spirit, gave him a cigar and waited for the quote..... he said he was going to have friends kick off in the England end, as he would be in the other end - when the police and security concentrated on that, he would scale the fence and stab the Russian keeper....
He was arrested for ''utterance'' and got (I think) 3 months in Germany and then arrested at Dover for breaching orders over here and given a further 3 months. His mum was in the Evening News saying he is a good lad really..... a neighbour - who didn't want to be identified - said something different....

Ive got a screenshot of the paper on my phone the headline is I'M GOING TO KILL A KRAUT! And the mini headline bit (not sure what to call it) says "and I'll do the Russian goalie"

As for Mickey, the eastlands bar was probably my favourite pub round the ground till it closed, shame as there is already a lack of pubs round.

Thanks for the clarification, I knew he said he was going to do the keeper lol didn't recall the Kraut bit.
 
A few City went over to the Euros's in 88, we heard about the keeper threats night after we played Holland in Dussledorf. Chelsea & west ham had plenty of lads over. West ham had it with a few utd after we played Ireland in Stuttgart.

As for Donald, master of disguises. Followed City everywhere..

I thought so!! Was pretty sure I couldn’t have imagined a headline like that
