Met him when I was 10 when he joined City. He was brilliant and we were top of the table at Xmas. He had an achilles injury which I think reduced his appearances after that and we dropped down the league. He was sold at the end of the season. A class act. RIP Trevor Francis.

Just slightly too young to see him play.
Plenty rated his time at City a success for him on a personal level

Well that's a real shocker really sad about that, remember his debut at Stoke scored 2 what a striker he was, gutted so sad for his family no age.

Still get goosebumps thinking about his debut vs Stoke - one of the biggest away followings I can remember (excluding Wembley, FA cup semis etc)
My Dad drove us up from Birmingham to Stoke - never been so excited ahead of a game.
Football is about dreaming - and he made us dream of success that day
Thanks for the brief memories of him in a City shirt. RIP.

RIP Trev, wish we had signed you sooner.
I went to see City play Coventry away 12th December 1882 we won 1-0 (Tueart).
I went as a guest of the Coventry Physio (George??) and had access to the Players lounge after the game. Trevor Francis walked in with a stunning Blonde on one arm and a beautiful brunette on the other, both dripping in gold and looking stunning. I have his autograph somewhere.
The only other outstanding feature was the entrance of Bond... Kevin Bond. He entered with a nice girl on his arm and a Deerstalker hat, was unreal.
RIP Trevor. We will all miss you.
